Yes they will fit. Pretty close to my offset with Rays from a G35. I would go no wider than a 265 or 275 in width on a 9 inch rim. If you want the stretched look then go with a 235 or something close.

Also check out the wheel and tire section which will cover every option out there on the SC.

Are you looking for stretch, flush fitment, or meaty tires? All depends. on what you want. Check out this thread with plenty of useful info. I believe 225 to 275 fits a 9 inch wide rim. Also, search up how to measure the actual width of the rim, so you know actually how wide it is. Good luck!

Also, here is how 18x9 with +45 offset fits on my car. I'm running 235/40R18 in the fronts and 245/40R18 in the rear.

Thanks guys. I like meaty look. I would like to put 18 x 9 all the way around but was concerned about+38 offset. The tire fitment guide showed a 19 x 9 with +44.
