Look at these 19x8.5 for the front and 19x9.5 for the rear



http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-tir...yperblack.html


19 x 8.5 Front
19 x 9.5 Rear

Front Size: 235/35/19
Rear Size: 265/30/19

The R-1 Racing Drift wheels are 19x8.5 in a +20 offset in the front rims and 19x9.5 in a +25 offset in the rear rims. As with all R-1 Racing Wheels, the Drift wheels have a super deep lip that comes in the R-1 Racing Patented Chrome Stainless Steel Wheel Lip Technology. The 19" wheels are wrapped in W rated rubber from Federal SS595 Tires. He sports a 245/35/19 tire in the front and a 275/30/19 tire in the rear.

Those are 45 offset all around. Very weak IMO as they will be sunken in very far. And if you still want them, don't buy from wheels next. You can get the EXACT same ones in ebay for cheaper.

I would get some coil overs with my tax return. The 17x9.5 looks appealing but sounds like I will have to pull and roll my fenders for them.

Yes it is dirty and yes it needs lowered, and a front lip, I agree. Lowering will come this witer along with a host of other things.

Makes me wonder of 2003/2004 Cobra rims. They look great on the SC.

I bought the MB battles in 17x9.5 +15, but I won't put them on until spring. Look at this link, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...00&postcount=1 this owner has 18x10 +22 all around. No pull, but he did roll the fenders. After using the http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp offset calculator the MB's will stick out 1mm more than the rims posted in the link. You will have to roll all the fenders and run a 225 or 235 in the front.

I like how that turned out. So a 225 or 235 for the 17x9.5 in the front?

As long as you don't mind stretching tires and you have coilovers to drop your car low, then go with a 225. I'm still debating whether to go with a 245 or 255 in the rear.

I'd probably go with 235 in the fronts and 255 in the rears. I'll have to find some one to roll my fenders.

Default Rims

I got a 97 SC300. I'm looking through all the posts, and not sure of totally what to do. Go with a 18" or 19". I'm thinking bout going with Work Emotion XD9 rims. They only go to 18", and i plan on getting the JIC Kit eventually, but rims first. Don't really wanna roll my fenders if i don't have too. Any suggestions?
