I'm going to get a set of IS300 rims... I've seen them in person at 17x7 +50 245/45 and liked the look, I think it was 245 all the way around but could have been just rear.

I plan on getting the 17x7 +50 17x7.5 +55 combo

What width should I put on these wheels?

I'm at stock ride height, but when I lower I have no problem rolling fenders.

Fenders are rolled flat, Thanks.
To run a 305 tire in the rear, a +38 to +40 offset would be the most aggressive I'd go with fenders rolled flat. More aggressive than that, you're gonna need a slight pull.

245s are the widest I'd go on for the 7.5 rears. I'd go with 225s for the fronts

Got my wheels and tires a couple weeks ago. 18x9.5 all around with a +22 offset. One inch drop and fenders rolled.

Thanks, Jadu. I think I'll give that a shot. I'm 225s all around on stock 15x6.5's now

@Equilizer - Those actually look pretty badass. That might be the first black on black car I've ever liked haha

195/40/17, 17x9 +20 fronts
215/40/17, 17x9 +20 rears

I suppose will give a nice stretch, how will it look on an sc? can't find any examples.

Current running
225/50/17 17x9 +20
245/45/17 17x9 +20 and i dont like the fitment too much and i cant go lower in the front because of the 225/50

Even with steering angle mods no rubbing up front on anything. I'm excited.

About to pull the trigger on some XXR 968 wheels. But all of this damn offset crap has got my head in a spin. Ive come to the realization that im going to have to roll my fenders to achieve the look im going for. Question is...do i go with an 18x9 +35 all the way around, or 18x9 +20. And what damn tire sizes?!


Trying to shoot for the same setup that Equalizir has. But the wheels i want dont come in a 9.5

Will the 20 offset compared to his 22 offset make up for that difference??

1/2" = 15mm

Also.....making mutliple threads covering the same information is not going to make a difference.....just be patient and you will get the answers.

Here....look at post #4448....FYI I found this in literally less than 10 seconds by searching..https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...sc400-297.html
