They're the eBay hubcentric bolt on spacers. They are the same thing as the ichiba version 2. One pair even came in an ichiba box. And each pair cost about $90 shipped.

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.

I'm going to assume you are going to run the +13 up front and the +3 in the rear. Those sizes and offsets would work fairly well for the look you are going for. I would shave the rears and roll the fronts. What tire sizes are you looking at?

Like 225/40/18 in the rear, and maybe 235/40/18 up front?

That should be fine. This is like the one rare scenario where bigger tires up front is ok.

that's retarded...

the fronts will fit fine with 225/40 and could even fit a 235 with some fender love and the rear you could fit a 235 pretty easily with a flat roll.

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.

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

I'm rocking 225/40 on 18x9.5 on all 4 corners right now. I have 15mm spacers on the rear (so effectively 5mm offset) and need about a 10mm spacer up from.

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

Default 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.

those wheels will fit fine but a 55 series tire is a little big don't yah think. if you aren't lowered everything should be fine and dandy though
