As above, can anyone advice on the setup I need either 18 or 19s wheels where I don't have to roll my fenders, can sit passengers at the rear without scrubbing, slightly stretched tyres, minimal negative camber but still looks flush with the fenders.
Hope I'm not asking to much ;)
Lastly, I'm thinking of a gap of 10-15 mm clearance between the fenders. whatdya think?

Hey CJ, welcome to SC. Its all about the offset. Mine are 235's on 18's and 45 offset (ive always thought they were 35 until i just pulled out the extra spare in the garage.) They are actually off a sport model GS350, or so im told Have a look at the pics, 18x8jj, 45 I had a set of 35 offsets previously that i think filled the guards a little better/closer, and also with no rubbing at all. They did have the hub rings. Have a look at this link and it may help you http://www.theeuroalliance.com/tech-articles/wheel-offset-and-fitment/ There's plenty of other info on this site if you use the search option. I think you could possibly get away with 19x9s with a 45 offset on the rear (without rolling the guards), not sure about fronts? .... comments guys ??

Hey Nathan, thanks for the offer but I'm looking to upgrade my current 18s to something more aggressive.
Hey mark, thanks for all the info. Really appreciate it. I'm looking towards something along the lines of 18x9.5all round et35 onwards or possibly 9.5j 35 for front and 10j et35. Someone on Lexus forum fitted those and it looks pretty nice. He didn't lowered it to the extreme but I reckon for a slammed look rolling the guards is essential. Below is the pics of my current rims which I have no idea what offset and width. Came with my car

Ah, I see. Cool. I have currently fitted 18 x 9.5 on the back now with 35 offset and 265/35/18. No scrubs. On the front I have 18 x 8.5 with 235/40/18 with no scrubs either. Not super low but good stance with JIC coilovers.

Hey Nathan,
Nice looking combo. I would think if you have 10j on the rear wheel be even more awesome. Well, but then again you would have to roll your fenders.
I'm still considering if I should go 18 or 19. Since the car is already low at it is in stock standard form, 19s will really be less painful on melbournes shopping centre ramps etc.
