Sc300/400 Offset And Sizes


Recommended Posts

I am considering picking up a set of Volk GT-Ns from a friend.

The sizes and offsets are 18x9 +38

18x10 +11 (rear)

These were on a Nissan 240sx. I know the +11 offsets are pretty low. My question is what is everyone else running? I am thinking I will probably have to pull the rear fenders and/or run widebody fenders in the rear.

Any input is welcomed.

Well I can tell you that:

18x9 +38 CES hit the lip in the front ~half an inch

18x10 +38 CES hit the lip in the rear ~half an inch

You're going to be 28mm more offset and more hits in the rear, widebody needed. I am pretty sure you are asking for serious suspension and handling trouble with +11 offset, that's way beyond factory ~+50.

I am probably going back to Supra TT oem 17's at some point.

I was thinking rolling the front fenders and putting widebody rears on might resolve this. One of the local guys is running 18x10 +24 w/o too much problem.

There are handling issues with extreme offsets outside of factory specs.

There are alignment issues with same. The tires won't wear correctly.

There are additional stress on the wheel bearings and axles with the additional leverage the wheel exerts.

These wheel tire combo's typically weigh like 55 lbs each vs factory's 42 lbs. Thats like 25% increase in unsprung weight, not good.

They will always look smokin hot on your car and that may be all that is important.
