Im wanting to lower my solara and put xxr 523 18 8.5 but want to be able to tuck them also what offset should I have?

for a nice flush look get 18x9-9.5 you dont have to get 18's you can go 19's to tuck without much lowering
anywhere from a 20-30 offset anything lower than +20 offset will require to pull quarter panel and fender. you will need to roll your fenders for sure!
to "tuck" you will need coilovers with good spring rates i would recommend (8-9kg front) (7-8kg rear)

This is 17x8 235/45/17 +40/20mm H&R Rear. Fenders rolled I still rub probably due to tire size... I should of gone with 225 instead.

^yeah 235 is causing you to rub!

It's ok I kind like those size tires... Filling up the gaps lol
Oh BTW that was park on a hill, just getting a idea if I was drop. haha But, I do rub with someone sitting in the rear seats or the trunk is full with stuff. Its sad I have the parts for years and never had the time to put them on. -.- Look on the bright side though I will be picking up those TRD Springs. Rock those for a while, then switch it to coil overs. After, that TRD Struts will go on a Camry.

thanks im pretty new to doing things to my car...so ill still need to roll my fenders with the 18s

Be prepared for a lot of adjustments. Lots of rubbing. Just gotta mess with it till you get it right. It took me a while to dial in each side. Its been sitting that way for a while now no issues other than driveways and speed bumps. But now im going raise it to 1 finger gap all around and 0 degrees of camber. Time to go fast again. Slammed scene was good while it lasted. Time for battle stance. lol

thats no joke... do all the adjustments and be patient... I rushed on mine and its just cause me headaches and taking me more time. If it wasn't for some good advice from ToyoSolV6 i think i would have given up on coils-- but our cars LOOK SO GOOD LOW!

No problemo sir! here to help and ive been messing with this suspension for a while. btw if anyones interested in adjustable camber bolts for the rear i might be selling mine.

all about that function manng

I don't even know what camber bolts do really or know what they look like...but it sounds like something i may need lol. Man i feel so stupid when it comes to suspension but everything else i feel pretty confident about lol

lol instead of running the fat bolts that hold up the coilover assembly in the rear the two 19mm bolts. I have 17mm bolts that are tapered. they look like a cam lobe you put one tapered in and the other tapered out and it lets you adjust your camber. These are only used if your running anything over 9" wheels. Im running 17x9 +15 with -4 camber.

Alright so would it be stupid to put money into the motor if it has a lot of miles?

oh...i gotya... i'll have pass because my rims are stock 7.5's i didn't care for the stance that you get with all the camber but it has grown on me alot more now i'm wishing i would have got better rims. but cash flow is the issue as usual lol
