Pls post pics of aftermarket rims on your Solara

[Jon11582]

I was told from the head guy at MHT wheels (who also owns a Gen 1 Solara) that 8" wide rims should be 42 offset.

Go check out the size/offset calculator - side-by-side with OEM - it's the best I've seen anywhere yet!

this is freaking awesome dude, hey you should post this in the tutorial section, it can really help slow people like me in the future. I am loving that link!!! thanks a bunch!!!!!!

I'm almost POSITIVE this will rub the rear strut in most cases. Too much backspacing.

I had 18x8 @ +40 and they rubbed the strut. I had to get 2mm spacers to put them out to +38 to get to not rub.

8" wide optimally should be about +38 for the best chance to fit without any additional spacers or fender modification if dropped. +40 MAY rub the strut, an +35 MAY need to shave/roll the fenders when dropped. Its not exact because of differences of "lips" on tires, section width (how much tires "bubble out") and manufacturing variance (remember were talking millimeters here).
