You are right, the 55 series is a little big for sure but hey, the tires/wheels are something I already own from another vehicle, so, tough to beat the price. . . . and no, not lowered, stock suspension. I'm an old guy and will be giving it to my son to drive from time to time, so not looking as much for the cool factor as I am functional!
Thanks

Wheel fitment???
Hey everyone.. Was wondering if I could get a little help with my fitment. I am going to use 19x10+20 with 275/35 in the rear and 19x8.5+19 in the front with 245/35. Anyone know if this is going to be rubbing? Im using k-sport coilovers with this setup and a slight to medium drop. Any input is appreciated!!!

The setup I currently have planned for my SC goes like:
18x9.5 23 Offset in front
18x9.5 15 Offset in rear
Will 245/40 tires go well with a 9.5" wide rim? I think that's what I had in mind.
How flush will these be? Will I have to roll fenders? My idea is to not roll fenders.

my planned setup...tell me if i will need fender mods and how this will look please...
Front: 18x8 +45 w/ 225/40/18
Rear: 18x9 +50 w/ 255/40/18
i will also be on mkiv supra shocks with eibach springs lowered about 2"
the offset seems high compared to a lot of the postings in this thread, that's why i'm asking. i'm trying to do no fender mods at all. this is the wheel size i want, so please recommend what my offset should be as well as tire size. thanks!

20" adr
Here what I got and I barely got my car up and running about 2 weeks ago. This is a 3-4 month project for me.
The wheels are 20". My front have 3"in lip and the back have 3.5" lip. I have nitto 235 and 265 on the back. My car is not lowered at all. That's the next project but I"m not planning to drop more than 1". I live in southern cali the roads are not that great. Even undrop my front bumper has alot of skid marks allready.
here what i have done with my SC4
Full Kit
Full body Paint
20" Wheels
New Leather seats front and back
Injen Air intake
Full tune up, you name it, parts cost me 1g to fix everthing.
I haven't install my Pioneer Avic90bt
Exhaust upgrade with stainless steel pipe, and also upgrade the tip

Will this be too much for my Soarer?.. Will I need to roll or pull my fenders?
F: 19x8.5 235/35/19 +25 offset
R: 19x9.5 275/30/19 +29 offset
Also don't know if I should go with 18's or 19's cause I want to be able to take the car to the track sometimes.

A lil help please, i would appreciate it. Well, i got my hands on some F-sport rims made for the new IS F-sport.
they are 19 x 8 40 offset front tire recommended is 225/35/19
19 x 9 40 rear 255/35/19
I know I will need some spacers, but my question is how big a spacer will i need and if i will need longer studs, to make them flush as can be. I dont mind rolling the fenders, i just wanna make her look as sexy as i can. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

18" are preferable. I think this is the best size for looks and performance. For WiKkrk I put a 3/4" minimum to clear the caliper when the pad are new. That's what I have on mine is the pic above. The rear I have 265 and the old ones i took off are 275. My rims are deep enough to look good so I dont really need that wide of a tire.
I think ur fender might clear but it's close enough. 225/35/19 . U should be fine. If I have the choice i'll take 18" I have 20" because I own these rims from my previous 00LS4

Thanks krippled, i will look into some 3/4" spacers. With that big a spacer will i need longer studs? I'm guessing i will. But yous right, i would prefer 18 but I got these dirt cheap off a buddy, plus they only weigh 20 lbs each, i think that is awsome for 19s.

Yes, just bang them in but support the hub while you hammer. I use a 2x2 wood to absorb the shock. 40$bucks for the long stud. If u don't put long stud u will only have 3 thread left for your lugs. NOt safe at all my friend. Don't throw away your old lugs, use them to install the new studs. go slow tightening them, then bang the stud on the back to help the installation easier. If u just tighen them straight up u will break one stud atlease out of 10.
with the 3/4 spacer your rims will look nice, u dont need to go with wider tires. Optical illusion, the spacers will make the tires look wide.
on my 20"s i had to cut the splash guards a little bit. I'm customizing one rightnow. Take some pics when ur done.
Good luck on your interior.
