Love my 20's, tucked with coil overs, but as we all know its all about personal preference. Do what suites you.

18's for a comfy DD but dont fill the wheel wells completely but enough to look good (this is a majority size for the SC)!!!!
19's if you got a little spare change in your wallet for tires and IMO fill the wheel well perfect (perfect size FOR LOOKS)
20's show car/you got deep pockets for 20" tires(if you have a kit they look lovely but tires are a fortune at 20" and dropped)


IMO it takes a certain 'look' to pull off 20's otherwise 18's or 19's for the SC....

I feel like the only way 20's would look even remotely good is if it were a VIP styled car, aggressive wheel fitment with tall aero. Can't find any examples in SC's but plenty of LS400's.

i would never go bigger than 18's on a coupe. now if i had a 2nd gen GS300 or LS430 then i might go up to 19/20 but no more than that.

22 inchers are too big. You have to get coil spring spacers, you have no turning radius, and you might have to cut the fender a little to get the Damn things to fit.

Then you will have other issues to deal with like excessive weight on the wheel bearings and ball joints. And the inability to steer properly. I'm all about drivability, and you can't drive a SC sports coupe with wheels that were designed for the clearance height of a truck!

15 to 20 inches. And I have 19's on my. I actually think 19's are the biggest anyone should put on these type of cars. They aren't designed like late model cars with huge wheel wells for 22 inch wheel fitment.

I have to say I agree with you. It's a sports coupe and it should be driven like one. So yea 20's is the biggest I'm going with a meaty tire I think it shud be fine >)
