What kind of spacers are you guys running IS350 wheels using? Or are you using any at all?

Ok so i got my adapters to go 5x120 for my vette rims.

I tried test fitting them on my friends MK3 supra and the rims were about a 1/4 inch from the strut and that was without jacking the rim up or anything.

So the question is how different are our hubs?

And i didint get my car back from the shop yet so i cant try fitting them on my SC.

Its doable With some Camber. the rear is going to be very close but it should look great. Maybe a 265 35

roll the lips and call it a day. These would probably look great. Good offsets are key to survival

Sweet thanks lol. All he did on his GS was trim the fenders, but I know the SC is different. Are the SC fenders hard to roll flat? I have only done it on my STi and the metal is pretty soft..

thanks bro, right now im on 265/40/18 in the back and its flushed with the fender but when i had 275/35/18 i had atleast a finger gap. wheels are 18x9.5 +35 offset. so you think 265/35/18 is better option?

17x8 +32 and 17x9 +38, what would it take to make those more flush? a 7 mm in front and about a 12 in the rear? Would a pull be needed at that point or just a roll? Sorry 235/40 front and either a 245 or 255 rear

Would I be alright with this set up without fender mods ? I plan to lower the car with a spring/shock setup in the near future. Car is a daily driver and I have no plans to race it.

XXR 502

20x8.5 Front

20x10 Rear

5x114.3

offset +35

^, front should be no problem. Rear may be hit and miss depending on tire choice and the amount the car will be lowered.

Umm.. This is 18x10 +15 up front. You judge if you think you can stick a 245 in there. I highly doubt it. I can take my rears and put them up front if you want me to try? (They're 245/40/18 in rear 18x10 also) (that's a 225/40 up front)
