Hello Romimi and friends

I am doing my homework looking for new wheels. I have stock 18" with the twisted center caps. I have the vip front lip from extreme dimensions and am considering the rest of the kit. In your opinion should i complete the kit before or after i decide on the new wheels?

I am leaning toward a 19" staggered setup perhaps 9" and 10".

Thanks for any comments.

you can use 17" wheels from the 2GS if you don't mind the look.

No fitment issue here as the oem brakes on both cars are pretty much the same plus you get more sidewall (245/45/17 vs 245/40/18) from tires for more ride comfort.

I would consider that setup when I reach 60 years old. lol

My bad my bad.
When I reach 60 years old, 20" wheels probably come standard from the factory. lol

Btw, I believe 16" setup is likely doable.

I notice that 20s looks great with a body kit, but without a body kit the 20" looks like it over powers the lines of the SC.
I really like the set on the Black SC (middle image), what are the specs and manufacturer, they definitely look great

Does anyone know what wheels these may be or a similar set?

I'm trying to buy the same look and fitment. I love the small lip in the front offset by the deep lip in the back, thanks in advance

For an 06 SC430, Do I need to adjust anything?

How old are you now?

Tons of cars come with 20s or bigger OEM wheels now a days. I am sure the next SC600 or whatever they will call it will have 20" OEM wheels. The GS350 F-Sport's stock wheels are 19s now and that is a lower level, lower performance level car.

You'll be fairly flush, but you'll likely have some rubbing with that setup without fender mods.

I am 42.
When I reach 60, Corolla might have 20" from factory.
