About to purchase some wheels.
I asked about this in the "wheel fitment" thread, but I need a solid answer, before I spend +$2000.
These wheels are 18x10.5 w/ 285/30 in the front, and 17x11.5 w/315/35, rear. I know that since the fit a Supra, they should fit my SC, ....but thats ALOT of wheel, both in the front and rear. I was doing some ruff measuring, and it looks like theres no way theyll fit.
Can anyone confirm that I wont have fitment, or rubbing issues, with these? My fender are all shaved thin, already, ... and I have coilovers.

what are the offsets on the wheels?
11.5 with a 315. too wide. put a 275 or 285 on it. it will be a lot easier to tuck.
from my experience on fitting wheels on an SC the widest you can go is about a 11.5 with high teen offsets and good tire stretch. thats under facotry metal. you will need a full roll and possibly a mild pull.

CCW doesnt release the offsets. Im about to send payment for them, so I hope they fit!
If they fit a Supra, they should fit a SC, right?

Also, they fit that Supra because it's stock ride height, so there's no fitment issues, if you're trying to tuck them/have a low car (sig says you have Flexs) then that's probably not gonna work...but I don't know that much about SC fitment yet so I'll leave that to others on here...

I'll leave this thread here for a couple days and see how it goes.
Hopefully you'll get the answer you are looking for. I understand how expensive CCWs can be. Personally, I think the wheel will fit. Modifications will have to be made to the fender (roll, pull). Next you'll have to determine what the offsets are so you can get a better idea of what tire size is best for you.

i wouldn't recommend putting the smaller diameter wheel in the front unless you're using the wheels strictly for DRAG.
aesthetically, 17" rears w/ 18" fronts doesn't make sense.
try 17x9.5 fronts, 18x10.5 rears, and you can still run lower offsets than you the Eurolines that you have.
they are still different chassis. i think these wheels would possibly tuck more on the SC, no?

Make them fit. simple as that.
if they don't fit with your car as low as you want, raise your car up a little until you have time to modify your fenders & suspension enough until they fit the way you want.
my wheels didn't fit until i got my coilovers and rolled/pulled my fenders a little, that wasn't going to stop me

First off, Im buying them second hand.
Second, I like the 18fr. 17rr., set up.
Third, ...Im not trying to "tuck" them.
My fenders are all shaved. I need to know if when I put them on, ...that they wont stick out two inches past the fenders, and I'll be able to turn the front wheel.
Since they fit on a Supra, shouldnt they fit a SC? Thats the question.

Why in the world would you want 18's front 17's rear? You are not listening dude. You have asked the question three times, and you have been told for the most part no, yet you keep asking the same question. What are you not understanding? Do you want us to tell you that they fit? Ok, they fit, perfectly. Even though you have been told they chassis are slightly different, they will fit. Even though you have been told no because of the offset, they will fit. Even though you have been that they are too wide, they will fit. There, happy?

Are they local enough to go and do a test fit? You should be able to tell what needs to be done from that point as far as your fenders and suspension go to make them work. The rear tires are a little too wide, but you could likely slim down and stretch them to make them fit.
