Wheel swap.
Crazy idea. I think I want to try switching the sc430 and the LS 460.
i think the 08 sc was designed for 18” 50 series tires. Slightly too stiff on small stuff.
Now as soon as I say that I took the sc to warp 7 today. Beautiful taught ride. Wow.
The sc’s 19” 45 series would firm up the LS’s handling a bit without hopefully hurting the ride noticeably.
can the swap be done? Offsets?. Bolt circles? Caliper clearance?
anyone done this? Seems someone must have?
if I could drive the sc like on the autobahn I would leave it alone.
Versus better ride up to 90+?

SC430 Bolt Pattern is 5x114.3, LS460's is 5x120 - you can make this work theoretically, with the adapters.
Offsets are slightly different stock for stock, I believe the SC is +35 or +40 and LS is +40 or something of that nature.
LS caliper is bigger than the SC I believe.
