here's 19x9.5 +35 and 18x8.5 +40 with a wide tire on each (285 rear, 255 front):

you could not run that wide of a tire on a +25 offset wheel without pulling the fender... with the suspension partially compressed, there is not even 5 mm between the tire and the body (rolled fenders), and thats running -2.0 degrees camber...

how would 18x9.5s all around with a +20 offset be? What tire size would you suggest? Most likely a fender roll?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of picking up a set of used wheels for my SC300 and I found some that I love but they come off a GS. Here are the specs below:

5x114.3
19x8.5 + 40 R-DISK (Big caliper)
19x10 + 48 O-DISK

How do you think they would look? I really want to get away from that sunk in look from the stock wheels and I really don't want to use spacer. How would these work with an SC any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

that will be sunken by a lot...that's almost stock offsets. Go with something lower. I'm not sure, but the tires with that fitment might even rub your suspension

These specs are for guys like me....someone who wants to be sporty but feels the SC is still a Lexus and thus, a classy car. The rear though, even for an old guy like me, that's a tad too conservative. The front would be fine...sitting right near the edge without sticking out. This must be a super good deal and imo the car wouldn't look horrible. If the price is right, pick them up, try them out and if you want more aggressiveness get some hubcentric spacers.

New to the SC300 tire/wheel fitment stuff.
We know stock Supra MKIV Turbo wheels will fit.
What if the rears were widened to 11.5in and I use
a 1in hubcentric spacer. Fenders will be cut in the rear
to help fit. Do you guys think they will fit or should
I even try it?

waiting to put on JIC MAGIC bodykit and PAINT,
so i made sure fitment and stance was decent and adjusted all fenders etc before sending out for paint.

so far just lowered with coilovers, and threw in a kaaz 2 way, poly bushings on control arms, steering rack, and sway bars.
so fun!
