On the verge of buying these!!!!!!!!!!
After months of searching and getting different opinions on all types of mods I finally came down to this conclusion. Tomorrow I'm going to order some 20x8.5 TSW Kyalami wheels and 245/35ZR-20 Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance tires. I have a question before I go and buy them:Are these good light weight wheels and I would like it to be a staggered setup but they only make these wheels in 20x8.5 and 20x10. My question is: Are the 20X10 going to give me a problem? If so, Can I roll the back fenders to fix this? If I go with the 20x10 in the back, I probably would want 275/30/20 rear and keep the 245/35/20 in the front unless you guys have a better setup. Please give me feed back on whats the best way to go and also what suspension setup should i use?

Well I can't tell you what they weigh, but usually no 20" rim is considered "lightweight"! My personal preference for the SC is no larger than 18" but it is your ride. Without knowing your offsets it's hard to say whether fender work will definately be needed but I'm inclined to think you will need work done with 20" & a tire width of 275mm.

First, look through this thread.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...+fitment+guide
Most topics have been discussed ALOT here at CL and some topics, such as wheel fitment, have been made into great threads such as this.
From my quick look through that thread, you may need some fender modifications. Depends upon the amount of negative camber you run.

I'm dealing with minor rubbing issues with my 19's, and my car is lowered with the Eibach pro-kit for the SC which is considered "conservative."
If your car is lowered you'll probably have problems with this set-up, you will have to do some modding. Personally I think 20's are too big for the SC unless you have a body kit and other suspension work/fender work done, but if you want to make it happen you can. I know Dennis (OneHot) has 20's on his car. Maybe he can chime in and help you out?

Yeah I seen OneHot's car and it looks really good with twentys. I wonder what setup he's using. Oh yeah , I will be putting a body kit with the 20"s. Just dont know what staggered setup and suspension to use. The offsets are 42 on the rims i mention above and I would like to do a 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear.
