Default CCWs Choices !

I guys

Just want to post this up to get some advise and suggestion about what type of CCWs rims will look good on my spa yellow ap1. its really struggling me about which one should i get between the Classic,lm20 and Lm5t. The spec i want to get are 18x10 +51 F and 18x11.5 +57 R , for the Lm20 and Lm5T i could get 2.5" lip Front and 3.5" lip for the rear but for the Classic due to the concave center they only have 1.5" lip front and 2.5" lip rear , btw need advise about wheels colour aswell .
Help me out guys becaused its a 5000 Aud deal for me for a set of wheels since i lived in Australia so have to pay for big shipping+taxes etc..plus i can9t look at them wheels in person before making a choice of purchase .

Thanks

Except with this spec you have to pull the front fenders, and stretch the tires significantly along with camber to get them to "fit"

No bigger then 245/285. Which on a 10/11.5" combo is quite undersized. But you got to get the long lips man!!!

I would go with a 10.5 +63 in the front. The slightly wider wheel will allow you to run a 285 30 which will give you the clearance you need, you can look up this setup as many have run it. This is all assuming you are willing to run around -3 or so camber in the rear and are lowered on coils.

Huh? You mean 285/10.5 +63 in the back I hope. This would never clear the control arms up front and still be questionable on the outside.

The rear is going to be basically hellaflush with a 285 11.5 +57.

**If I were going to make a recommendation on fitting the maximum wheel/tire combo on stock/rolled fenders here, it would be a 10"/255 +60 up front (+55-50 if you want to pull) 295/11" +65 out back. If you want more lip/higher offset, it will be at the sacrifice of rubber/performance and fitment clearance and camber that looks like this / . \

Huh?
Yeah, that would definitely NOT fit as there isn't enough clearance on the inside. You would need +30mm downforce fenders or similar to run a 285 tire up front.

That's never going to clear the control arms on the inside. Hell my stock rear rims which I use in the front 17x8.5 +65 barely clear the control arm at full lock. Even aftermarket 17x9+63 have trouble clearing the control arm at full lock.

With a 10.5 wide rim in front your going to need wide fenders and the offset will be have to be under +50.
