too bad most if not all lexus wheels look terrible to me. when i had my sc i wanted to swap in some other toyota wheels, the only ones that looked halfway decent were the 18 inch LS430 wheels.
I'm glad someone said it! Toyota/Lexus consistently makes some of the ugliest wheels. Nissan/Infiniti, on the other hand offers stuff that rivals the style of the best aftermarket options. If it weren't for it being a Supra product and offering good BBK clearance, my money says the consensus would be that the Supra TT wheels look terrible on the SC. That style belongs on a semi or a VW bus. You can't blame the Supra guys for ditching them!
I did really like my GS400/430 wheels, other than the ugly +50 offset, but those are the only in-house product I can think of that I would be happy with on my SC. Even the similarly styled IS wheels are a design fail with the sharp creases.
I had 350z V1 touring wheels before....they looked pretty good on the car...biggest reason why I got them is they clear the LS400 BBK...with a 15mm spacer all around they are pretty much flush...
I ran 235/40/18 and 245/40/18
You can do a 245 and 255....but I wouldnt push more than a 255 on a 8 in wheel
So since they stole the LM reps I had on my SC300, I need to find decent temporary wheels, so I'd like to see more pics of what the 18" G35 wheels would look like on a 97+. I have a spare set that I put on my mom's GS400, but since I'm running an LS400 BBK, I will most likely be taking those back.
Wonder what they would look like on my car. They need to be refinished, because my mom is not the best at parking, so I'm also taking suggestions as to what color might work best if i get them powder-coated.
sooo, update. I just picked up a set of these for a good price, and will be getting them powder-coated this week. I have two questions for you guys:
-What color should i get that would complement my car the best?
-What is the optimal tire size? My car is NA-T running 332hp to the wheels.
I will be getting BFGoodrich G-Force Comp2 tires.
Wheels are 18x8 in front with 30 offset and 18x8.5 rear with 33 offest.
I will be running 10mm spacers all around, so effectively the offset will be 20F and 23R
Fenders rolled flat all around.
I have one more question about runing 350Z wheels. Are you using the 60.1 to 66.1 hub centric rings, and are you using any different lug nuts? Please let me know, as I want to make sure I do this right.
when i had them on the sc. i wasnt using any hub centric rings. didnt have any issues.
heres a rough idea as to how they look. if you plastidip them. i only put them on the sc when i was getting safety done and the front tires were too bald for it to pass. so i swapped the fronts for that day.
