im sure you want meaty tires, so 18x9 and 18x10 +25 front and rear will be perfect. you can probably fit 285s in the rear.

What company? Most of the Jap wheels go to 9.5 wide. And you gotta spend big money to the custom ones. I am leaning towards rpf1, or those wheels I mentioned in the last post.

rpf1s are nice and light but they either have too low or too high offsets.

So then what wheels would you recommend?

Would the centerline wheels fit with the one of the spacing choices from the website?

Will these even fit properly?

Work VS-TX
18x8.5 +28, approx. 11.5kgs, 2" lip
18x9.5 +26, approx. 11.5kgs, 3.25" lip

these are perfect for meaty and wide tires, id pick it up if i had extra cash.

The guy sold those already.

RPF1 SBC 18x9.5 et 38 and 18x10 et 38 wouldn't fit?


The wheel chart says the 10" rear would need a roll, I would probably do 285/35 Toyo R888's.
Probably 265/35 in the front.

I plan on doing nearly an identical build as yours to beat my m3's 197mph...

You think that kind of speed is possible in an SC? I know yours has more than enough power.
they will fit but might be too sunken in, my friend with a SC have the sbc rpf1 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 +15 offset which pokes out for me. you can get the ones you mentioned and add 10mm spacers so it wont be too sunken in. how wide of a tires are you planning to use?

I have no problem throwing a spacer on to make it look right.

Probably 265/35 in the front.

I was digging in my PM's to find some more wheel options. And found some useful numbers

Fronts
18x10 +45 285/30/18

Rears
18x11.5 +50 315/30/18

Now to find wheels that would fit the specification.

another question to ask yourself would be, will it clear your brakes.

Can your front wheels be repaired / trued? I love the way your car looks with the TT wheels by the way. Keep up the excellent work!

That is a good idea, I may look into seeing if I can get those front wheels fixed by some professionals.

Yeah I saw them before. The rear is too aggressive for me to run a wide tire.
