if i switch to 19X8.5 with a 38 offset will that make it more flush. I guess i'm trying to understand offset. Now i'm assuming that the +38mm is heading back into the car not away from? are different spacers needed for the rears to make it flush. I really do appreciate the help. I'm used to keeping my rims stock but i do confess that the TC looks so much better with aftermarket wheels.

 

oppposite, the lower the offset the further out the wheel is, for example...
18x9 et 16



see how far past the fender it is. your wheel would be about 25-28mm more in then my wheel set up (18x8.5 et 38 vs 18x9 et 16 using approximately 5-8mm to compensate for width.... correct me if im wrong on that)

but my set up is a little more aggressive then what some people would feel comfortable going.... hell sometimes i feel uncomfortable driving lol

also keep in mind i should be using at least a 235/40(35) to 255/35 tire but im on a 215/35 tire for extra clearance...

for your wheels to get where i am you would need about 25mm of spacer (all around) and negative camber too... with a 205/35 tire


(fyi that pic is before my alignment with -.7 degrees of camber... i am now running -1.

 

Does having the wheels flush really affect your performance?
Bloody hell so you have the wheel size, the tire size, and spacers needing to be flush...
And i just got a ticket on the hwy... Not my day today!
I appreciate the help, alot to think about. Many thanks!

 

no it just makes you nervous about damaging the wheels lol

i already have some nicks on the lips cus i have no protection

and yes my wheel set up to me is flush... maybe... dare i say "hella flush" i just need to lower my car more to complete it...

and no problem on the help

 

ight so ive decided on sum 18x7.5front nd 18x8.5rear. Tucked not flush. Runnin the Tien S's. 225/40/18Front nd 235/40/18 Rear? IDT in need spacers? i want an aggresive stance. How wide can i go "tucked" on S's b4 rolling fndrs n qrts? Any Black 5 spoke rim suggestions? ROTA Grids? LOL

 

Will19x8x45mm offset 235/35/19 on the trd springs rub?

 

im pretty sure 18x10et20 wouldn't even rub on the trd lift kit...

 

lol trd lift kit

 

new in here. quick question trying to look for some 17x8 or 17x8.5 wheels but cant seem to get a good selection. car is already on S-tech springs
just thought someone in here could give me a link to a better place to get wheels

 

i have 2 questions: 1) how big of a spacer would i need for 18x7.5 et42 to sit flush 2) whats the max neg. camber you can get out of the rear?

 

Hey scion lovers! Having some trouble figuering all the fitting of the wheel & tires but, hopefully some of you guys can give me some feedback! I'm on S-techs & trd struts, looking to getting xxr 522 18x9.5 +30. on 225/40 unless you guys recommed different! will this rubb drasctically?!? Will I be able to do this set up if so what would I need to do to get to this?!?!

thanks in advance!!!

 

You're going to need to roll fenders and run camber.

 

So this will work. this set up will have the wheel sticking out a bit?

 

my mistake its actually 18x9.5 +38 on 225/40 tires! not +30

 

Alright, then it'll work. The setup will sit similar to how Rota Grid's fit.

 

yea that was my mistake. I meant to say +38.....so rolling the fenders 7 adjusting the camber will do the job then? no, no spacer! would you recommend to use them? what would I need them for?

 

Nevermind, I edited my post. But yes, rolling fenders and adjusting camber will be fine.

 

How do you think it will do on the bumps for instance on the freeways! since its going to be sticking out a bit!

 

If you roll the fenders enough and you adjust the camber accordingly, it'll be fine. Your drop might be a little high if your trying to accomplish a hellaflush look.

 

I'm hopping to get coilovers soon I was just hoping w/the set-up I have right now it wouldn't mess anything up! I was more going with the wheels sticking out of the fenders more & then being able to work w/it more after I get the coilovers! this width will have the wheels sticking out a bit right?
