Default Awesome stance!

I'm really liking this stance... Wide tires is the new route for me. Can anyome give a good guess on the tire size? I'm thinking 295/30 but i may be way off.

Look up Supra fitment for SC

I think the widest i have seen is a 10.5 front w/ a 285 and 11.5 rear w/ a 315....Unless you are putting down serious HP it is not necessary

To fit a 295/30 tire on the rear of the SC you would need to be around a +40 offset on a 10.5 in wheel.....You could do it on a 10 in but it will bulge a little depending on tire brand

Not necessary? That's irrelevant. It looks good IMHO

My car originally had 305/35 on a 9.5 rear, 285 shortly after. Ran that awhile before doing 245/45.

no one is tracking their SCs here besides a couple people so necessities don't matter, if it looks good it goes on the car lol.

Believe me I want to run the widest tire I can possibly fit front and rear.....

I am looking to do a 265 front and 295 rear....when i get my new wheels after winter

I have seen 97-SC300 car in person and he has a 285 front and 315 rear and it looks sick as hell....There are a few other members that have wide tire setups......It is really needed once you get boosted...

I am running 255/40/18 right now and I struggle to get any grip at all in 1st and 2nd.....but it make it more fun

I ran a 295/35/17 on a 17x10.5 20et with stock camber and a fender roll. Car looked amazing, but my tires wouldnt grip (stupid Kumho XS). However my car isnt slammed, only a 2.25" drop in the back, 2.5" in the front.

It's pretty easy to get a meaty-flush / battlestance look to a car. Just run tires wider than the wheels.
I got pretty much the same look on my car running 245/40's on my 8.5 fronts and 275/35s on my 9.5 rears.

The key to making this look good is as little camber as possible. That usually means running wheels with offsets in the 30s. People going for the hellaflush look usually run offsets in the 20s or less with camber

and an alignment helps.

I ran 285/35/19 tires for a while and it looked really good from the back. Before that I had 275/35/18 tires on a 10.5 +30 wheel and it was pretty mean looking.

"Im on it", I recently purchased the Extreme Dimensions 4 piece kit (front and rear bumper+sideskirts). By front and rear, I take it you mean the bumpers?
