You're going to roll your fenders right? And what are you going for? Maximum traction with a huge tire size or something with a little bit of poke? The fronts will definitely fit with a roll

yeah im ready to roll my fenders, i want a little bit of poke i was thinking like 265's in the rear or 275 what tires would be good for the fronts ?

well 265/40's are going to be a slight stretch on the rears, and you could run either the 20 or 27 offset, just with the +20 you might have to pull the fenders just a little bit. and if you want to keep the tires looking about the same you should go with a 235/45 up front, it should be about the same stretch. But also take a look at akapaco's really old SC, he had 17x9 et24 up front and ran a 245/40 up front and there was no stretch:

But regardless of all of this info, I and many others think 17s are small on SCs so keep that in mind.

I agree that 17s do look pretty small on the SC. Go with 18s. Even my 18s look a little small in pics, but look perfect in person. You are also able to go nice and low with 18s. Until your frame starts rubbing on everything lol..

I wish I could go 18s but at the moment that's out of my budget. It's pretty hard to stay in the 800ish range when your looking to get 9s and 10s with s good offset. I was thinking of just running the 19" g35s or the stock is250 wheels but I think it will be tuckin too much. Thank you for the heads up of the 17s looking too small on SC's I'll buy some bigger rims down the road.

Here is a question if i use a "18x10.5 -7 fronts 18x12 -13 rear" how would this fit? im trying to grasp the idea of the lowest offset i can use but its not making too much sense to me. or if i go with Rear- 18x10.5 +3 Front-18x9+4


any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

+4/+3 would be much easier.

Yeah those rears are gonna poke quite a bit

How much fender work would i need to make these work? other than just the normal roll and pull? or would i have to use fender flares?

Thanks looks like i might go with the +4 and +3. depending on how much work needs to be done to make these wheels work.


P.S. you guys are the best . . . THANKS FOR ALL THE INPUT!!! ill be starting a build thread soon !!! just got a 97 SC3 and also just picked up a aristo 2j auto. Will be sourcing 5 spd swap too!! i have a R154 tranny already from a soarer.

rear fenders would need a pull and hammer the inner area flat with a hammer. and you will need a stretch.
