Default Pix of new rims/tires...^-^

So, bought a '98 SC300 about 3 weeks ago...

Just installed new rims & tires yesterday...check'em out! ^-^

Wheels: Rota P45-R...18x9.5...+30...Royal Steel Gray

Tires: Falken ZE-912...245/40 (f)...245/45 (r)

What do you guys think?

(I know, I know...Rota's on a Lexus...what can I say? They make beautiful replica styles!)

I know...it needs a slight lowering...I think I'm gonna go conservative on this one, don't wanna scrape it all up underneath, not to mention have a rough ride.

I used to have a G35 Sedan 6MT...SLAMMED, on 19's...looked sweet, but drove like *****...LOL

yeah none of that conservative bs...I was thinking about picking up some Rotas for my car, but then I found a set of Equips I reaaaaally want...deciding between that and a motor, lol...

I don't know if anyone on this forum is using them, but you should check out Powered By Max coilovers...they only make them for the SC, 240SX, and RX7. Ive had them on my car for about a month now and really like them. They don't even ride that bad compared to the coilovers I had on my 240SX before I sold it...and they go reaaaaaally low.

Jer, those are the wide ones, the others are 8.5 for the front if you want staggered.
