do your wheels extend outside the wheel well?Im runnng 19x8.75 +20 with 245 F and 19x10 with 275 +20 R- actually turned out nicer then I expected.

No aftermarket fenders here. The reason why there is a difference is that there is slight camber from being lower, causing the top to angle in slightly thus not 'poke' out. When you put the car on the ground, you put it on a wood plank which is consistently flat throughout which causes the rim to be equally flat on the surface. With my setup, I have slight uneven tread wear but nothing that would significantly lower the life span. I did have to run a mild stretch though. If you want something that will fit with a recommended tire size then I suggest looking in the mid +30s offset.

i went ahead and lowered the car about 1/2-3/4 of an inch. It already looks better, but its still sticking out about 1/2" from the top of the wheel well. I ran out of daylight but im going to play with it some more tomorrow. If i can get it to look flush from the rear of the car im going to keep them.

this is 19x8x5F/19x9.5R +15 all around with no spacers kinda crappy cell pic. I now run 15mm spacer up front and 5mm spacer out back and about 5" higher. With no spacers i could probably run 235F and 245R i know it isnt super meaty but isnt terrible either.

I'm not freaking out so to speak, just being overly cautious. Once I mount a tire, the wheels become mine.period. No returns or exchanges. They do have a +35 offset but not in bronze and not in stock, so I took my chances. If I feel I need a different offset I will exchange them and wait for a gold set
I know from what everyone has shown here is they will fit. But what I'm seeing in front of my eyes doesn't look like it's matching up to what y'all have shown.
I believe the difference is the ride height between the cars, and also because I don't have a tire mounted yet. But my concern is how much am I going to have to drop the car. This is my daily driver that sees a lot of miles so I don't want to be eating up a set of tires in 10k miles

^, You have every right to be overly cautious. You are concerned with ride height and tire clearances, from the sounds of it you want a somewhat of a square tire. You wind up with a bunch of people posting images of cars lowered a lot more than you plan to go saying that the wheels will fit just fine.
Back to my first post, I do believe you will need a mild stretch to clear your fender even when lowered. At the current height with properly sized tires, it seems it will poke a bit.
More importantly, do you plan on going lower and what size tires do you plan on running.

I wouldn't mind a little stretch. I was originally going to order some 235/40/18's til I saw they were H rated. Im now planning on a set of 245/40/18's think that's too meaty? I'll go as low as the car will let me go while keeping stock alignment specs. I think 1.5" is the limit for the supra, I'm not sure about the sc but it should be similar
I'm most concerned about tire wear. Like I said it's my daily, and money is better spent on cams and torque converters etc. Rather than tires
My next concern would be clearance, I'm willing to roll the fenders, I'm not willing to pull or change the fenders.
Looks is least important, but don't take that the wrong way I still care what it looks like. I don't need it to win car shows though lol. I just prefer function over form for this situation
