Tire shops aren't always the most knowledgeable. Looks good. How about some side and angled shots?

You're welcome. 255 will fit on a 9.5", but it's not MUCH of a stretch at all. (Actually, there will be no stretch). You're good to go on 9.5"+15 w/ 255/45/17

Then instead of rolling, cut the inside of the fender.

255 won't stretch on a 9.5" wheel. If you're not going to be "low", 9.5+15 will fit without a fender roll.

Welcome, gentlemen! If you guys are interested in meeting more Socal owners, most of us are in Socalsupras.org. BTW, the annual Irvine meet is taking place on March 23. Check out the details in the events section of Socalsupras.

dow I would consider that a downgrade from sawblades. If you want 7" 5 spoke wheels, you might as well buy the oem 5 spokes

You are suggesting the purchase of this 17x7 steel wheel for the MK3? Then install some hub caps on them? Interesting.

Let's do it. Many of us are already registered. http://www.toyotaclub.org/Toyotafest/register.htm

Wilcox: Yes, lip is part of the overall width

Lip size does not determine flushness. Width and offset will help determine flushness. This wheel, 18x10.5+22, has 1.5" of lip, but it's flush. This wheel, 18x10.5+18, has 4" of lip, but only sticks out only 4mm more than the wheel above.

You'll find this calculator helpful http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Yes

The higher number, the higher the offset. The higher the offset, the more it will be inside the wheel well. Stock MK3's are 16x7 +37

I've never had RPF1. But if would be a good idea to roll the front fender with 18x8.5+30 in the front, on a lowered car. No need to roll the rear.

There's always the replica http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=335_336_392

Wilcox: have an awesome time with your wheel shopping. Post pics when you get the on your car.

Yes, +55 is positive offset. With MK3 "normal" wheel sizing, +55 will give you no lip and the wheels will be sunk in. If you want 17s or 18s...then why where you looking at a chart for 19" wheels?

Since you don't seem to want to go very aggressive on wheels: Front: standard disk (A-disk), 8.5 with offset in the high 30s Rear: deep rim (0-disk), 9.5 with offset in the low 20s. This will get you moderate lip If you want somewhat big rear lips, you'll have to go least 10.5 with offsets...

Do you have plans on upgrading to big brake calipers? Are you going to roll your fenders?
