Hey wheel gurus, I have a 93 sc300. I'm interested in rocking SSR vienna sovereigns 18x9 +3, 18x9+13.
How would these flush up? I'm completely stock at the moment, I'll order some coilovers when I get done researching... (I'm really liking Stance)
If I went low, and rolled the inner fenders do you guys think that would cut it? I wanna be flush and low, but not slammed. I don't plan on doing wide body anytime soon either.

Personally what i would do is run a 225/40 all around and throw a 10mm spacer up front.

with an 18x9 all around and +13 in the front and +3 in the rear a 235/40 will probably not cut it on a shave. Personally i don't like to roll the rear fenders on SC's because a lot of the times it gets that little dimple which bugs the hell out of me. Now i'm not saying a larger tire up front is cool or ideal, but between a 225/40 and a 235/40 you aren't going to notice it that much.

I will likely upgrade to a 235 front and reduce the rear to a 5 or 10mm spacer and run 245's

Tire - Wheel question for new guy . . .
I have a (new to us) 99 SC 300. I have a set of tires/wheels from another project vehicle (long story but at a house in an adjacent state). I think they will work but thought I would run it by the experts here for affirmation.
235/55/17 Michelins mounted on 17 x 8.5 aluminum wheels with a 32mm or 35mm offset. (dont remember for certain)
Circumference should be a little tight in the space but the tire should fit between the wheel well and the fender lip, but then again, that's the math I have tried to verify, thus my question here.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks.
