Okay guys, I got a tricky one. A bloke in my city is selling some SSR Gartmaiers 18x10's in the front with a -12 offset, and 18x11 in th rear with a -25 offset. will these fit with stock suspension... I Am looking to upgrade in the near future _________________

They are going to be hanging out of the guards, by around 40mm... so you'll have to pump your guards like mad! they do sound sexy though. pics? _________________

Nah, i was gonna go check them out this arvo. Maybe put them on to see how bad they stick out, and go from them, maybe roll guards and camber. _________________
Yeah, its a fair bit of flaring and camber required...and that might not look good if you're keeping the suspension stock. Chuck some pics up when they're on and we can judge _________________

To give you an idea, 18x9 +15ish on the front (or lower) is going to require some rather serious gaurd work and camber. You will at a minimum need to shave the gaurds and probably flare, whilst running pretty stretched tyres. In the rear it will be a very similar task with the wheels you are suggesting, and there is simly no way they will fit without a flare (or -15 degrees camber).
Dont get me wrong, it would look awesome but you have to realise it isnt a walk in the park and requires lots of research and money to pull it off. If you really want that look then go for it (i say do it!!!!!).
I wouldnt even bother fitting them without lowered suspension tho, they are going to stick out of the gaurds so much its going to look retarded _________________

i'm going to say forget it mate.
to fit these wheels you will need serious guard work, not rolling, or shaving, or even flaring. you will likely need custom guardwork with new metal welded in e.g. VIP style flared arches / widebody.
to give you an idea, here is insomniac's ride. His wheel specs are
Garson Deep Racing F: 19x10 -6 R: 19x12 -12
^ So your fronts will be 9mm MORE aggressive, and your rears will be about the same as his, maybe a couple mm MORE aggressive.

Richie, Id always suggest getting final suspention components sorted before purchasing wheels, while wheels are the most important thing aesthetically, they need to be held up right! _________________
hey all just wondering if 18x9.5 wheels + 18 offset would fit up front without any guard mods and also will be running massive 4pot calipers and i think 310mm discs. will these fit and work??
thinking something like 235's as tyres _________________
would this clear big breaks?? im getting the celsior breaks that are bigger then the supra 4pots so will this work?? it will have 310mm disc's from memory _________________
