Default Will these tires fit on my 93 sc400

Looking at an ad on craigslist. Says the following

Lexus IS 250 350 Hyper Silver staggered Wheels Rims
18" Lexus Factory OEM Chrome Wheels - Front Wheel Size/Offset: 18x8, offset is 45mm - Rear Wheel Size/Offset: 18x8.5, offset is 50mm - Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3

I know the bolt pattern is correct but I am a little unsure of the offset. I am not a wheel guru. Will 8 and 8.5 be ok? I know this is a real noon question but I appreciate your help.

yes, that is plenty fine. you may want to think about some spacers and/or a good size tire depending on what you decide to do with your suspension.

Looking at a website about off sets it looks like the sc has an h offset. So the 45 falls in range, but the 50mm falls outside that. Does that mean that the rear wheel would hug the hub more, looking sunk in. Is that where I would need spacers?

they will fit post some pics. You will probably need some spacers to make the car look right.

Here are some pics of my ride back when I had the ISX50 rims for you brad.




They will be sunken in a little but it was fine with me when I had them. In these pics I'm also lowered on supra shocks and supra eibach springs. No rubbing issues whatsoever with this setup. Definitely wish these rims would have came with the SC stock back in the 90's.
