Default 20" staggered

I have a 1993 SC400 and want to know if I can do a 20" staggered setup on the wheels and tires? If so, what sizes should I get for rims and tires to have a clean but mean stance? Also, would I have to lower it?

20's are REAL big lookin on this car, and awkward IMO. Go with 19's, you'll thank yourself after someone PS some 20's for ya.

20s are fine IF you have a bodykit. If not, go 19;s. I'm running dubs right now. 245/275 respectively.

see if you can find pictures of:

autocouturesc, manaray, jc4dint (spelling?)...they all have 20's and I don't think it looks awkward at all...keep in mind they all have bodykits..

stock bodied SC's can pull it off if you have a nice drop with at least a 97+ body...such as Din...

no bodykit = 19's

bodykit = 20's

a mean @$$ drop is a MUST!!

well, I'm going to get the body kit for sure. I was looking at the 19" staggard but then i would have to lower the car about 1". I figured if I got the 20" staggard, I would eliminate the suspension job................ AC, can i run 245/20/35front and 275/20/30rear without scrubbing on the fenders?

you need to lower it either way. 245-35-20 and 275-30-20 NOT Your sizes listed above. you're gonna ruin your rims in one day guaranteed.
