4.5" x 25.4 mm per inch = 114.3mm

Thanks for the help! One more quick sanity check before I blow my paycheck...The wheels are 18x8 4 on 4.5" with a +38 offset...I will be fine on a 1992 Sc 300 correct?

make that a 5 and sure... however you won't be happy with them... they won't sit flush and your car will look like a 2 door ES300

yeah I meant 5 on 4.5...I'm not sure what an ES looks like. Is the offset wrong or something? What offset will make the rims sit flush...I don't want the "sunk in" look.

well,give you some insight... my front wheels are 18x8, +40, or very close to what you are looking at... it doesn;t look bad... +35 would be better, or 8.5" would be better maybe too... my rear wheels are 9.5" wide +35, so your wheels would sit IN almost a full inch from what mine are (click sig pic for large pic)

SC's need at least a 9" wheel in the back... The factory wheels are 8" wide, and 50 mm offset, so your wheels would look like the stock ones, just 3/8" an inch out from where the stock ones are...

I'm trying to fit some Starion wheels on my SC and need to know if they will fit. The specs are as follows......

16x8 -10 in front and rear

I've also got another set of 4 wheels that I am also looking to fit, they are....
16x8 0 in front
16x9 +10 in rear

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

it's just 60mm less offset than the stock wheels (thats almost 2.5")

you'd have to run some really odd tire sizes to get them to even think about working... second set would be better, but same deal kinda...

I'm looking to get new tires for my 17" wheels. But I want something with a little more sidewall than what I have on them right now. The tires I have right now are 205/50R/17, on all four wheels.

I want to stay the same width, but increase the height of the sidewall so it fills in the wheel well just a little more. What size tire should I get?

on an SC???

205???

you know thats 20mm narrower than the stock tire right?

or are your drifting skills just that weak that you need wayyy less traction than stock?

put a real tire on that thing, minimum 245/45-17, **** 275/40-17 should be your rear tire...

Will the 245/45 and 275-40 fit on the 17x7 wheel?
