Hi CalitriSC,
thanx for your speedy reply!
I know, there is plenty of 19/20" out there, but I don't want to loose ride-quality.
The LS still needs to be able to pull DDD (DailyDriverDuty)!
I got some replies over on the LS-corner: General concern seems to be brake clearance if the offset is not at least 35mm...??
Though I saw at least one SC with Saleen style 17" and 18" wheels, which have a rather low offset of 22-24mm.
I wonder if these still clear the 98LS brakes??
Cheers,
thjakits

Wow CalitriSC the car is gorgeous. I have a few questions how much pulling/rolling did you do on the quarter panels and what tire size did u run front and rear? Also what brand is that upper spoiler it looks really nice on the car

Thanks. The rear fenders are rolled flat with the inner fender also hammered flat. The front fenders are rolled flat with a slight pull. The frame above the front wheels is hammered flat. And my wire harness is relocated into the engine bay. On those wheels I had 215/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear. But those tires were Federals which run very wide. So more like a 225 and 265

Looking to get a set of wheels from a member of the site and was wondering if this set up will work on a stock Sc400.
The fronts are 20x8.5 16 offset 245/35
Rears 20x10 15 offset 285/30.
