Here is my Platinum 1996 SC400 with IS 300 rims on 245/45 tires.
I also painted the calipers and added V8 emblems (I have more pics)

Default 245 vs 215

How do those 245's work out for you on 7" wide rims? my stock is300 rims have the 215s on them and they look ok, but nothing too special. can you post a pic showing the rubber on the road?

Yes, I'd like to see that too. One low shot from each end.

Thanks,

Here is a rear view of my 1996 Platinum SC 400 with the IS 300 rims. No mods, no problems.

Nice b,ut for some reason they look bigger on the IS to me.
has anyone ever tried the gs300 sport design wheels, i think they are nice although only 16 inches.

LOL I remember when I was looking at buying a nice pearl white Soarer V8 Limited... very nice, until I got to the back of the car... it had the normal Toyota and Soarer emblems, but on the left side it had V8 QuadCam badges lol
