19x10.5 + 55 ??

I am getting conflicting results searching as to if that should fit properly on an FD in the rear with a mild drop??

Well according to jimlabs worksheet, you wont clear the inside by .41 inches. This could be taken care of with coilovers. Should clear with minor work, or you could run a 5mm offset to clear the inside and do a mini roll with the fender. Depends what size tire you run too.

with a 10.5 wheel you will still have a decent size lip, depending on the wheel.

Do you have pictures from the rear of the car? I would be interested to see how flush that sits.

no i dont at the moment but i can take some pics tomorrow. the rims stick out a bit but since i run 275/30 on a 10.5 rim with coilover it fits perfect with no rubbing. ill try to take pics tomorrow i got some nice brand new ssr comp-h wheels
19x9.5 +45 and 19x10.5 +43

I was looking at SSR professors . I am waiting to hear back from someone who has a set for sale currently on a supra. I guess if the price is right, ill go for em and use the 5mm spacer. Thanks for all the information
