nice, so if i got wheels that really had no lip and were almost flat with the outside rim of the wheel, that would be positive offset and not really good for a supra, or atleast wouldnt be out even with the fenders, correct?

18x7.5 all around? You might want to go a little bigger in the rear. Unless you are getting a really good deal it would be worth your money to get at least 9"s in the back.

Correct. They would not look good. Stock offset on sawblades is about +35 IIRC. If you were to find wide wheels in that offset, for example 18x8.5 18x9.5
they would almost be flush.
