Alright so I dont own a TC anymore, I went for a 2014 Corolla and I am now trying to figure out if these wheels will clear.
Corolla uses a stock 17x7 wheel with a +39 offset.

I want a XXR 530 wheel with +33 offset and 18x8.75 and plan of lowering the car 1.3 inches all around.

Anyone here can verify if I will have problems with the wheel hitting the strut?
I assume a lower offset will poke the wheel out some allowing more clearance for a future BIG brake upgrade and avoid hitting the strut.
Please guys some help here, the corolla forum is a bit dead.

 

best way to find out if you can't find anything on it. I would seek out what the backspacing is on the wheel you are wanting and then just physically take the stock wheel off the car and measure from the hub back to see if it will clear.
