Another Rim question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok, still in search of my rims !! Want to hopefully get some before the season is over.

Does anyone know how good ADR rims are ??
I was looking at Enki, but their offset for the 18'' are 40 and don't think that will work with my 1.6'' drop

I now am looking at the ADR Tensions, I love the look their 18'' have a 42 offset, which I hope will avoid rubbing issues.....

Looking for any feed back on ADR rims or the 42 offset with 1.6'' drop. 2000 solara

THANKS !

One of the Solara guys schung(?) put in 19X8.5 rims with 38" offset on rear only.
He had to shave the fender lip. He also lowered car with TRD springs.

I think it will work if you shave or roll the fender lip..

I heard some people doing it on their driveway with a wooden baseball bat. They put the bat in between the tire and the fender then they sit on it while someone gently drives the car forward... Kind of risky but I heard it really works without hurting the paint.

With respect to offset, it's not how big the rims are, but how wide they are. 40 offset on a 18x8 rim is different from a 40 offset on a 18x9 rim.

Ok thanks for that info. They are 18'' x 7.5'' with a 42 offset, think that might work ?

Great !! thanks for all your help, I think I am going to go with the ADR Tension 18'' then. Only probably back ordered 3 weeks, might just wait until next season since I"ll only be able to drive on them for like 2 months, we'll see
