To answer your question, no they will not fit, you will have to go with a 5x114 bolt pattern. I am glad that you came here before you spent your hard earned money on these rims.

Please take my advice and look somewhere else for rims:
1. ADR's are known for being cheap knock offs
2. Non-staggered setups are for FWD cars
3. You drive a Lexus not a Honda.

Please use the info above to help you.

You cannot fit those wheels (bolt pattern is all wrong)

Do your research....
If you are on a tight budget, check the wheels classifieds...all kinds of bargains there.

i'd probably stay away from 19s then if i were you. you're looking to spend major cash there. i'd look no bigger than 18, or if you're really on a budget look in the classifides or supra forums and see if you can find a cheap set or maybe even supra TT wheels. they usually go for about 400, maybe thats a route you'd consider?

Tires alone for 19's will cost you $1000 Since budget is the key word here, Id agree with the people above me, or just save up until you can afford a quality set of wheels.

exactly - you do not want to get a flat on 19s either.

If your budget is 1000, sounds like you need to do as mentioned above...go for a set of Supra TT wheels. Not a bad upgrade, since they are staggered, and look very good on the SC when lowered.

Edit:

Here is an example of the Supra Wheels on the SC

Just save more money. The car looks good enough stock where you can be patient to get what you really want.

Just for reference that 5x112/ 5x120 is a MB or BMW lug pattern, since it is already a dual pattern please do not let the seller tell you "oh, I'll just have it drilled for your pattern" 3lug patterns on one wheel is not a good thing!

As others have said 1000 dollars is very tight budget for wheels/tires, especially 19s. Your best bet truly would be

1. Supra 17s
2. GS400 17s
3. Wait and save up.

I agree with Reggie K, the SC is a nice enough car stock, you do not have to be embarrassed by driving a stock one. (unlike a Kia with 14" hubcaps ) Just keep it cleaned/waxed, and get the right package when you are ready.

Good luck.

Once again, D2 has spoken wisely. It would be foolish to blow your whole budget on poor quality rims and not even be able to afford the new tires. Work hard, save your money, get something you will enjoy owning and have no regrets that you didn't get what you really wanted
