Default wheel fitment

Trying to get wheels for my SC300. Been looking into these sizes.

18x7.5 either 225 or 235 tires
18x8.5 either 245 or 255
20mm offsets all around

car is not lowered yet but it will be soon. i will be using springs that will lower between 1-1.5". don't want to drop it too much.

even looking into
18x8.5
18x9.5
20mm all around

will they fit w/o fender modification? want to keep it simple.

I looked at the "official wheel fitment guide" for the SC's here in the forum but wasn't much help w/ the setup i'm looking into. seems like 20mm offset is too low for the SC's but wanted to double check with you all since i'll be keeping the tire sizes smaller than most people here.

let me know. thanks.

18x7.5
Too anorexic bruh. Seriously. Stay with at least 8.5's up front or don't bother changing wheels IMO.

Why would you want a 7.5" wide wheel with a 20mm offset on the front of your SC?

My 18X9s with 33mm offsets rub on big dips, if that helps at all.

i would recommend droping your car before deciding what size wheels you want. there is also a lot of forums on this here regarding rim fitment and modification. use the search button........... good luck!!!

the 9.5 +20 will fit, you'll need to stretch a tire on there with a roll in the rear with some more neg. camber...

the front 8.5 +20 should fit fine if you are lowered to the tire. a roll would be nice too
