Default 18x9.5 front 18x11 rear on SC400

This is JimSwantko's SC400 he swapped his SSR GP-O Decolte's from his Supra to his SC400.


I just had to redo his pics so that they will work

here are the measurements of Jim's wheels

The fronts are 18x9.5 (+50mm offset) with 265/35s
the rears are 18x11.0 (+49mm offset) with 295/30s (AVS Sports).

Jim I just have a few questions.

Have you driven your SC400 with those on? and do they rub?

thanks

Yes I've been driving on them for a couple of days now. No rubbing. I am on a completely stock suspension. I haven't really pushed the car (fully compressed the suspension)... but in normal (even spirited) driving no rubbing. The fronts are good for full lock turning with no rubbing.

I really like how they look on the SC... but the Supra has no wheels so they have to go back on.

I'm thinking I might just put some GS400 17" on her.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the help with the pics!!

Those tires aren't wide enough. Have anything bigger?

I'm not keeping them on the SC... they are for the Supra.... I have some GS400 17"s coming to put on the SC.

I just thought you guys would like to see how it looked. It does need to be lowered a bit with those wheels.

And yes... the SC can turn these bad boys over!
