![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Purchased a set of Enkei's 18 x 8 with a 35mm offset .. I realized later that the offset should be around 38 - 45 for my 92'sc300 with stock brakes but most say it will be alright with some minor tramlining. Any other problems you guys know I may encounter with 35mm offset??
Goal is to have a combo front/rear with a wider rear tire versus the front..
Can you guys help give me the best tire combo with 18x8's all the way around that will give me a little wider aggressive stance from the rear???
I am afraid to listen to some of these tire shops recommendations on this subject since many don't deal with our Sc's..
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Brandon...you don't recommend going any wider with an 8" wheel i assume? Not a problem just wondered. Any other offset problems you can see with a 35 versus a 40?
side note: 3 piece rim construction. I noticed my rims are 3piece rims. Does that help or hurt overall construction and ride quality?

8.5 front and 10 rear works also 8 and 10 or 8 and 9.5 or even 8.5 and 9.5.
+35 should be fine. 3 piece wheels are generally stronger but also generally heavier.
