Im thinking theyd fit perfect on a lowered SC
stock height with 0 camber the fitment will look goofy

above view of the same wheels on my s13(sorry its not an sc-forgive me!)
it fits really nice BECAUSE of the camber..otherwise id have to pull my fenders out an inch

hmm.. i may be screwed. Picked up a set of wheels in the following sizes and offsets:

Front: 19x8.5 +15 / Tire Size: 245/35/19
Rears: 19x10 +20 / Tire Size: 275/30/19

Running Supra Eibach spring setup.

Thoughts? Just a roll or should I go with a different tire size?

1995 SC300
XXR 962
18x8.5 +35 with 245/35/18 front
19x9.5 +35 with 285/35/19 rear
Tanabe NF10 springs

I had to roll and hammer the rear lips completely flat to get the tires to stop rubbing. I'm going to close the front gap soon.

Very helpful thread. I've noticed that there isn't much info on 20" wheels, most people here prefer 19s. I just purchased a set of 20x8.5/20x9.5 wheels with +42/+35 offsets and I need advice on the best tire size to go with. Any help is much appreciated. BTW...pretty much every car I've seen on here is sick! Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
