OK finally a test fit lowered.
Wheel are 18x10 Enkei RPF1's with a 38offset. Added on a 5mm spacer to get 32offset.
For my likes and usage I think I am going to set my rear wheels that are 18x9.5 with a 45offset with a 10mm spacer to get 35offset. Going with a 15mm spacer would be too much for my liking. I plan on dropping the rear about another 1/4in and thats it.
The Enkei wheel itself is just past the body line at this height. I know it will go in abit once lowered again but this tire is being stretched too much for my liking already. Its a 265/35/18 and I will be runninng a 275/35/18 on a 9.5in rim so it will square up alot more.
Fender will still need to be cut so when the car squats no rubbing issue.

Just for reference, check out JDMes's car. (The white one) 18x9.5 +16 18x10.5 +16. He doesn't mention anything about pulling.

I'd assume it would be the same. And yes those wheels do fit without any pulling, as they are sitting in my garage (well, 3 of them). I would recommend cutting the rear fenders with something so aggressive though.

Hey Guys,
I'm ready to pull the trigger on some wheels but I could use some help on figuring out if these would fit properly with a stock bodied SC on Supra suspension/eibachs springs. If anyone can let me know if these would fit without the use of spacers or them sticking out or sucken in, I would really appreciate any and all help figuring this out with someone who has personal experience or knowledge.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Here are the wheel specs:
19x9.5, 19x8.5
245/35/19 AND 275/30/19
offset 42, 36.

As far as Enkei goes...The car has a vertex kit on it, bodywork/paint still in progress...
Which wheel combo do you guys think would be the best combo? I've been looking around the forums to see if any guys have enkei wheels but can't seem to find many.
I'm not sure if the RPF1 wheels would look that great on the sc300.
I would like to keep it 19's, I think 20's is just too much.
Maybe the RP03's 19x10 22offset all the way around?
