Need help with finding rims for sc400
Hello all i am a new owner of a 92 sc400 and im in themarket for rims. I would like to have a rim chrome with a good lip. Also i want a 20 inch rim or 18. I dont want to lower the car at all but if i must i will. Please post pics and wheels if you have them in 20 or 18 thanks a ton!!

If you want to keep the suspension stock, I'd recommend 17's or 18's but no larger. Whether or not the wheels you want have 'a good lip' will depend on the wheel itself, and the offset. Lower offsets generally mean a larger lip, but offsets that are too low will make the wheels stick out at stock ride height.
Look around, there's several other threads where members have had similar questions. Also, make sure to have yourself a look through the Official Wheel & Tire Fitment thread, which covers pretty much all sizes and offsets.

..very nice..can i touch it 
19's ftw on an SC, 20's if your ballin' and get the perfect fitment, 17's if you like me and could give a crap less about offset/looks (just not too sunken in) and are more worried about performance and lower rotating mass

If you don't mind shopping online, you could try tirerack.com or even check the Club Lexus wheel and tire classifieds forum:https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...lassifieds-41/. I actually got my wheels from a member on the forums. There are a lot of good deals to be found.

What color is your SC? Chrome can look great with some colors and poor on others. 19's can look really good too but with any aftermarket rim we would suggest a slight drop because the bigger rim over stock will raise your car that much.

He is right about the chrome and that you will want to lower the car. I have 18" wheels on my SC and the front end looks pretty goofy since it is way higher than the rear. If you're looking for a cheap way to lower the car, you could buy OEM Supra TT struts and get a set of Eibach lowering spings(or any other brand) pretty cheaply.
