Exclamation Problem with Supra TT fit on my sc4

So, i just received a set of supra tt rims (without tires) sizes 17x8 and 17x9.5 and was curious to see how they would look on my car with the different offset (.38 supra v. .50 for sc4) and was shocked when i put them on. i see many people have the supra tt rim upgrade on their sc's, but when i took off my rear wheel to put on the tire-less supra rim, i noticed that the rim is so wide that it rubs on the spring. is something wrong here? what can i do to make these supra tt rims fit my 96 sc400 without rubbing on the spring? also, what is the recommended tire size to keep the supra wheels working with the speedo accurately?

Default

9.5" wide and +38 offset should not rub the spring... I run 9.5" wide with +35 offset and there is almost an inch between the wheel and the spring/shock...

Your proper tire size would be a 275/40-17 rear, 245/45-17 front
