quick check for wheel fittment on fd

Hi there...I know there are threads for fd wheel fittment but not sure how it works...cant figure it out...i have a 93 that has been lowered on eibach springs(unknown of which type) and tokico illumina 5-way adjust shocks

i have a chance to pick a set of wheels up from a supra sizes as follows:

18x9 with +37 offset - front - 255/35

rears are 18x10 with +43 offset - 285/30

please can anyone help...still going to try to figure it out
Thanks in advance

they sounds like they would fit. might need to roll your fenders. which wheels are they?
but i'm not an expert. there's a good fitment spreadsheet in the archives.

The fronts have too low of an offset....the rears would probably be ok...some manufacturer's 285s might just rub on the fender lip.

No, wheel spacers effectively lower the offset.

Negative on the front fitment, and also as an FYI, check out what the hub bore is as Supras have a different size.
