They will look the goods, mate.

especially with them being staggered, 3" o'dish will keep everyone happy.

I think the chrome would suit the contrast of the car better tho.

okay gotta remind myself this isnt a VIP forum BUUUUT imho:

18" = too small, gives too much fender gap. 19" is ideal.

8" front = narrow, like to see 9" up front.

+40 offset = very weak. could drop that to +20 front and rear with those widths and probably still not need to roll or anything Razz

mmm depends how wide the wheel is but im slightly in agreeance, my rear is +38 (at 10") and thats slightly weak... clean fit... any skinnier on that kinda offset would be panzy

well its all relative, but yes, generally speaking a +40 or above is a weak offset. This is a FWD type offset, or a standard wheel type offset. (and we all know how standard wheels fit!)

VIP_2JZ - its all a matter of just acquiring the knowledge based on the car etc. You can never say "9" +40 is weak all the time" because on a 4WD car or a Van or other FWD vehicle this may be quite aggressive. But when talking RWD Toyotas, generally 9" / 10" is good width, and anything from about +30 downwards is on the right track.

tyre selection and camber also play a large part in aiding to swallow up wheels!
