I'm getting ready to look at some new wheels for my SC. Eventually, I want to run the LS400 brakes up front and supra TT rears. The wheels I'm looking at are:

17x9 +12 front 225/45/17
17x10 +15 rear 245/45/17

I've tried looking but the information is super confusing. I know the stock wheels are 15x6.5 205/65/15 and they're sucken in like crazy!!!!!!

Any POSITIVE feedback would be greater appreciated.

the low offsets will help you clear the brakes but it depends on spoke design. If they are multi piece you will want hi disc or you'll need spacers

They're the FN01R-C's that everyone has. I just picked up my Supra TT's for reallllllllllly cheap that's why I went with the supras.

Wheels will fit with rolling

low offsets wont do anything for caliper clearance. ive said it 30 times before and ill probably say it 90 more times. Caliper clearance depends on ONLY the face design unless youre using some wheel where they shave the mounting pad instead of adjusting position on the barrel (one piece wheels do this). You then choose your offset based on that design and fender/suspension clearance issues.

i dont think rolling will be enough. looks like they might need to be trimmed and pulled even though the tires are going to be pretty stretched.

possibly a slight pull, but nothing major or even really noticable for that matter. And you can run 245's out back which fit fine on a 10" wheel and 225's up front.

Those are some crazy offsets. It comes down to how much you like the wheels and how committed you are to getting this put on. Within reason, you can always find ways to make them fit.

I personally would not go to all this trouble for 17s. What is your goal? You are stretching the tires but with fat sidewalls? With the stretched tires, I don't think it is that optimal for performance. Unless you like this look, the setup is not optimal for looks or performance. I am also not feeling the fact that the tire sizes are different causing the wheel diameters to be different.

It is your car and if this is what you like, then go for it. I just thought I'd post my take on it in case you are getting wheels for the sake fof having wheels. There are drawbacks to this setup but if that is your goal or you are willing to live with it, power to you and go for it.

No, they really arn't that crazy... just not what your used to seeing people try and fit on these cars, becuase people generally don't THINK they will fit... but they will.

So your'e suggesting he be like everyone else and get some 18x8 +45 wheels? which are also useless, nor do they fit right.. the point is, at least he is asking if they will fit and is looking into wheels that will actually look good. Unlike a lot of people here who just rely on what tire rack tells them that will "fit". Be different, shock us all and put those "crazy" offsets on your car..lol

I have seen enough of these so for me, it is not that surprising. I just wanted to make sure he knew what he was getting himself into. I wanted to point out the potential issues with the setup and let him decide. I did suggest that if he likes the setup knowing the issues, then to go for it.

My definition of "fit" is a setup that you can bolt on and do no modifications. If you have to do any or all of the following:

shave, trim, pull the fenders
run neg camber
run stretched tires
run different size wheel diameters

then the setup does not fit. You may be willing to do some of these modifications but he (and others) may not. Visually, once you make these changes, the car has a certain look to it. Some may like it and some may not. That is personal preference. Neither preference is wrong, just a preference.

Can it be made to work with the car? I did not deny that if you reread my post. My setup, in comparison with the extreme numbers, are mild but I did have to mess with my fenders. I have my limits as I do not want to run stretched tires, or run more neg camber than the norm.

run 235 on the rear, roll the fenders, maybe pull a tad (probably wont even need to pull) and it will be fine. the hub design on the fno1r are pretty deep so i believe they will clear brakes. check to be sure tho.

hope they clear these hefty TT brakes for now and some pimpin' AMG brakes later!

haha you said it yourself. If its a one piece OFFSET DOES MATTER

17x9 +15 fn01rc has 10mm more brake clearance than 17x9 +25 fno1rc.

Maybe you should stop saying it since your wrong.

Face design first, OFFSET second.

I highly doubt those wheels would clear a big brake set up. With an offset that high they probably have no clearance behind the face. I really wish someone would sticky a FAQ in this sub forum.

First off.. the offsets are LOW not high. Secondly, the offsets DO NOT determine brake clearence. I just don't understand why people who don't even know how offsets/disks work give advice on wheel fitment!!!

That being said the DISK weather high or low combined with the FACE of the wheel will determine if the wheels will or will not clear brakes not offset. PERIOD.

Now before you mislead anyone else, please take a few seconds to educate yourself about how offsets, disks, and brake clearence works.
