I think im either gonna go with some Nitto envo's or Nitto neo gen (good for camber when it gets lowered). The fronts are gonna be 245/40/R18 and the back is 275/35/R18, I was told by the guy helping me with the wheels and tires that because its a wider tire the side wall will be slightly taller, thus 35 instead of 40. Does that sound correct?

So I ordered the Widetracks, and I got the Nitto Invo's. I will post pics as soon as I get them on the car, they should be on next friday. The only thing I still have to figure out is either rolling the fenders or getting blisters like the link below. What do you guys think?

So I got a call from my wheel guy and he said that when he called friday they had the 120mm in stock and today he got a call saying they didnt and it will take atleast 3 months to get them or even longer. If anyone knows any wheels that look similar with a nice decent stagard size lip like I would have gotten from the widetracks lemme know. I would have spent around $2500, so i would like to keep it around that price if possible.

Default Will it work?

I'm an SC newbie and considering picking up one. I have a set of wheels that was suppose to go on my 1GS but plans change and I ended up selling that car. Anyway, the wheels are 19x9 (+36) and 19x10 (+23). Can anyone tell me if this setup will fit and yes, I am willing to do fender mods. Thanks in advance.

How much work am I looking at to fit the AME's for sale in the wheel forum. Willing to work for it but wondering how hard they will be to live with...

20x9.5 +10
20x10 -3

Feel free to give it to me straight, just havent seen anyone on here pushing anything close as far as offset. Thanks in advance!

a little bit of both i believe.....plus having wider wheels on back helps with performance. Kind of like big and littles.


but you can run same all way around and still look good.....example "booja" running 19x10s all around.

Ordered a 5mm spacer yesterday. I'll update pics when they arrive.

Almost the same fitment as me, 18x9 +26 18x10 +26. You don't live in San Antonio do ya? My friends keep telling me they see a SC my color, and the wheels look like mine...

i currently have 19 x 8.5 et+35 and 19 x 10 et+35 with tires 235/35, and 275/30 respectively. without doing any other fender mods, if i were to purchase 20 x 8.5 et+40 and 20 x 10 et+35 wheels, what size tires would i need to keep the same dimensions?
