2x 18x9.5^ ET18

 

What yous reckon is that good for supra? What im going for is a good aggresive stance with the wheel sitting pretty flush against the arch or even out a bit from it

The wheel pictured are 18x9 +32 & 18x10 +32 and sit flush with the wheel arches. As a comparison, the 18x8.5 +15 front wheels will stick out 11mm further, the 18x9.5 +18 rears will stick out 8mm further.

I've got 18 x 8.5 et 15 up front, with a 225/35, and 18 x 9.5 et 15 rear with a 245/35 tyre.

 

Mines lowered on tein coilovers, and I have about a 30mm arch gap on the rear on the hardest setting, and a 20mm arch gap at the front, on setting 12.

 

I rolled the lip of my rear arches the heath robinson way, with a bfh, and they occasionally catch on a real nasty stretch of road. I'm going to get arch enemy round to give them a further tweak when I can :thumbs:
