this is a 19x12 +0 on my sc with only a 25mm pull/flare. depending on what the offset is on your 13, youll really only need minimal body work (1-1.5in pull). and since youll be on air suspension you can dump it with max camber and itll fit nicely



oh, and here is a 19x10 +0 up front. notice that again, only minimal body work or +25mm fenders are needed for this setup to work




the fitment of your rims will depend on how much body work you want to do, tire size, camber, etc

HoeBag you are the best. 18x13 THe Offset is -4 with 18x11 Offset +7. FOr the fronts I am gonna go with the 25mm Origin Fenders for the fronts. But from ur pic HoeBag looks like it fits easier then I thought.

by using this offset calculator http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

your fronts will be 6mm further out than mine and the rear will be 17mm further out than my 12 +0

And it will be on Bags for sure just so it gets the good stance when it goes low and cambers that and NYC is a B*TCH with potholes so need the bags to avoid loosing my kit lol.

i'm just cerious as to how long your expensive tires going to last with camber like that?

If tire wear was that person's concern, then I don't think he/she would've gone through the trouble of trying to fit those wheels.

I doubt that matters much since I am about to throw about 3 times what my car is worth into fixing it up to my likes.

no need to brag about what you are spending on a Lexus board.... there are people here that have spent 20x what your car is worth just buying the car...

I recall reading somewhere that the CCW 17x11 rear fitment is at a +44/45 offset. Don't quote me on that, but my memory is pretty sharp.

Projecting those numbers to 18x13, offsets in the neighborhood of +10/+15 should still clear the suspension, even with mad camber from air.

Those 15-20mm of clearance (as compared to what you are proposing) would get you in the proximity of Hoebag's outer clearance, thusly requiring similar body work. Short of a widebody kit, you can't do much more than what HoeBag has done.

----------------
ps. I agree with Cody on the money flaunting. There are a number of guys who have put enormous amounts of money into their cars. I would say the average CL guy is putting as much into their car aftermarket as they did to acquire it off the lot.

pps. I would love to see you pull this off. 18x13 S-Lo brake fitment could give you an absurd amount of lip.

You will need widebody.

I've been down this road but I sold my car a month ago.
19x9.5 +2 (plus 11mm spacers) effective -9, 25mm vertex, 5mm cut/widened further, -3.5 camber, shaved rotor hat 1mm 225/35/19
19x11.5 +1, pulled fender 25mm, -3.5 camber, shaved rotor hat 2mm. 275/30/19

You can't pull the stock metal more than 25mm. You will get dent in the upper part of the rear quarter. It will also look really bad unless it flows with the car. Mine was pulled and smoothed.

Have fun! It's a huge amount of work but it's all worth it.
