For the drag racing SC300 owners
SC300 on Buddy Club Race Spec Coilovers
Fronts WELD Alumastars 17x4 1.75in BS NO SPACER
26x4x17 M&H Front Runners
Rears WELD Alumastars 15x10 8in BS with 11.5mm spacer
28x10.5x15 MT ET Drag Stiffwall
I run extended studs for safety and fitment in the rear.
Rear fender lip has been cut and there is just under a 1/4in of lip left.
Inside fender fit with no hammering at all, but I went ahead and clearanced them just incase it did need it.

i've got a question. i pretty much figured the front size i want but now the rear.

im thinkin of 18x10 +12 in the back. (im lowered on mkiv turbo eibachs). theres room to go lower in the back but as it sits i have to wait for coilovers still. with that size would i need to camber out a little? my fenders are rolled right now.

Go with a 245/40/18 if you plan on going lower

Default Will 255/40/18 (f) and 275/40/18 (R) fit on SC400 with all four fenders rolled

My father's car on "stock suspension" currently has 4 MOMO 18x8.5 38mm wheels with 245/45/18 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 tires. All four of his fenders were rolled when I completely repainted his car. He loves these wheels and I wanted to get him the widest front and rear tire that I could possibly fit. With this offset do you guys feel that a 255/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires would work or should I go with the 245/40/18 and the 275/40/18 rear. Or better yet keep the two front 245/45/18 tires and just get him a rear set of 275/40/18's. I promise I have searched several times and have read numerous threads but I am unsure what width tire will optimally fit with his current 18x8.5 38mm offset MOMO wheels.

I need the help of wheel experts;

i'm looking at the Te37's, 18x9 fronts and 18x11 for rears, what are the best possible offsets to fit these rims with only rolling fenders. i plan on tracking the car so contact patch needs to be close to maximum. I'm also lowered on gixxer drew setup and have the supra brakes. thnx for your help
