Whats the recommendation for wheel offset for new 18 inch wheels? I searched the forum and I'm confused what the OEM wheel offset is (38 or 45). I am leasing a 2004 SC430 so I dont want to mess with the suspension (I'm assuming that 19 or higher wheel need for the car to be lowered?). I want the wheels to match the vertical outline of the car. I got a quote over the net. Are these ok for the offset? Don't what wheel rub. Thanks. Any recommendations?

I know for a fact that if you go with the same size & width of the OEM wheels, i.e. 18 x 8 all around, an offset of 38 will definitely work, that's what I have on my car right now.

275's in the rear with a 9.5inch wide tire should be fine....
I'm running a 19 x 10 in the rear with a 285 tire...but I like lots of tire!
If you rhaving troubles in this forum try the tires, wheels forum on clublexus technical, you may have better luck there if u need immediate answers.
