Just to verify what im understanding,
How would: 18x8.5 +35 Front 18x9.5 +35 Rear Sit? (I can always add a 5mm spacer) I'd like the rims to be as flush as possible, no need for massive poke. Will they clear my BC Coilovers? -------------------- |

My Enkei's are 7" wide and +35. They sit in about an inch in the rear and quarter inch to half in the front. I think 8.5 and 9.5 would be perfect. The only place I can see an issue with is inside near the strut.

Yeah that was my main concern, but I think my coilovers are a lot thinner than the oem so it should be fine. Thinking of 18x8+25 now haha

Thinking of 18x8+25 now haha That should be pretty flush for all four. You may need spacers for the rear. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

with natural camber you can fit pretty wide wheels, for sure up to 9.5 but you gotta figure out the offset, plus you can still pull if you want to. 7th gens are running 9.0-9.5-10 with roll and pull, with 10-20 offsets at the lowest ive seen. 7th gen clubs seem to be more into flush scene than the 6th gens. i have both gens, and our gens seem to have lots of room when I look at both cars.
