Right..

I've currently got RX300 18" wheels on the car which are offset of ET35 (according to the internet) with 12mm spacers on, which I think equates to an offset of +23

Basically, I'd like to end up with a slightly higher offset (so it's not scrubbing) but actually have some clearance for the brakes. Right now with those spacers I have less than 2mm of clearance between wheels and brakes (yes you read that right).

Any ideas? I've been looking for rims from an LS430 or late spec UCF20 as I'd imagine they fit over UCF20 brakes.

edit: this probably has more to do with hub protrusion than offset, I think I'll need a higher offset wheel with the spacer on still so it sits closer inside the wheel arch.
