Default wheel fitment q's (noob)

i have a 93 lexus sc300
i am planning to buy a set of new wheels
they are WEDS Krazne ER-M

18x9.5 +30 all around

or is it imposssible?

-no fender rolling needed, just flatten the lips.
-i''d recommend a 255/40 tire all around... more or less from there...
-wont be perfectly flush, just a tad under flush, flush would be around 18+ and 22+ offset with those widths

also depends how much you are dropped as to how flush or not they will be.
-slammed they will be sunken
-fenders just at the tire will be near flush.
-stock... eww

IMO you'll be a lil sunk in still with just the info you provided.

The info on tire size you're planning and the amount of drop you have(if any), will help out. Also, pics would be good!

I run 10.5s +18 in the rear with a slight pull and full roll, so I think you can run a lil lower of an offset for 18x9.5s

ummm how low are you going is the main thing here. but those specs should be okay up front, but a little sunk in the rear.

Go at least +20 if the wheels are 9.5 and 10.5. +12/+15 is flush with a roll.
