They look great, especially if your looking for a more aggressive look! In any case, I would rock them.

Get wide ones, and make them sit flush, and it will look great.

they're too heavy and too many pieces to be considered a real race wheel. meisters are perfect for the sc, a bit of sport and luxury. and the sc is one of the few cars that is both. offsets seem too high for my taste. but it depends your tire size.

Not positive if it will clear bbk just by looking at the offsets. It really depends if its a high disk wheel and the design of the wheel. They are 19s so I am guessing a maybe. This is a good tool to get a good estimate if bbks will fit: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wheel_fitment.shtml

I hear the stoptech is slightly smaller than the ls400 setup so if the stoptech does not fit, the ls400 will not.

Those offsets are not appropriate in my opinion.

If you are going to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on wheels (Work wheels at that), get the proper offset.

The rear is not horrible since they are so wide. But, if you are running an SC suspension, you will probably rub with the strut. My Supra turbo wheels are a 9.5" wide wheel at a +50 offset, and there is not worlds of breathing room to my Supra suspension. And, the Supra suspension has a narrower rear spring at the bottom than the SC.

The front offset is really not great. I ran 19x9 +37 previously, and they were only approaching flushness.

If you are worried about rolling your fenders, I own a roller and would be happy to bum it off to you. I would rather see your SC on Meisters that look aggressive with rolled fenders than on Meisters that are sunk in so that you don't have to roll the fenders.
