Default 265 series rubber

is 265/35/18s the right size to run on a 18X9 inch rim for the rear of a sc300?

with the 245/40/18 set up on the front?

18X8 in front with 235 series rubber

18X9 in back with 265 rubber

they are 45mm offset i think.........i dont know..........i bought it from a guy who had them on a gs300 1998

the question is do you think 245 rubber will fit on 8 inches?

If they came off a GS they should fit your SC fine. Look on the back of the rim like on the spokes or somthing it should tell you the offset.
