What size rims fit on my 92 SC300?
Since I am new to this, I guess I can ask a few dumb questions...I am interested in replacing my stock rims on my SC300 and was thinking about getting 17" or 18" rims. Any preference on what size works best? I saw the attach pic in a previous post and it looks fine to me. Does anyone know where I can find these rims and would it fit on my car? Thanks..

I’m not a wheel expert but I have done my homework. I like the wheels on the Supra too. Tire prices and availability are much better for 17” and I really can’t see much difference looking at an 18”. Get at least 8” wide and staggered really looks great but can’t rotate wheels and flats could be a problem.

Thanks for your replys. Another question....what is the offset and how do I measure it? I guess it has to do with the location of the holes in the rims for the lugs in comparison to the car. Thanks.

generally speaking, customers do not measure their own offset...you simply ask someone who knows.
Offset on a wheel is the measurement in mm from the centerline of the wheel to the mounting pad. There is a predetermined "range" that a car can fit. If the number is higher, that means the wheel is "in" more, which means the car's mounting hub is closer to the fender. If the number is lower, the wheel is "out" more, meaning that the mounting hub is farther away from the fender (this can equal MORE DISH).
