Eh... I only have the rear 2 at the moment lol, I'll post front when it's on the car

Can someone link me to a thread where it shows how to adjust rear camber for SC300's?

Thank you!I'm starting to learn offset better now

No problem, that's what we're here for

Low offset is a good thing

BTW - Got the fronts mounted up and tried to get the rears..... I need some more camber to get the rear to fit!




19x10.5 +17 up front ~ 235/35/19
19x11.5 +17 in the rear ~ 265/30/19

Should hopefully have them fitted by the end of next week.

Some roll and pull needed there in the rear... unless you want to smack your fenders with the wheel lips

...19x10.5 +17 front? How come they look sunken in? Or is it a bad angle?

looks like the shadow might be causing that sunken look. Who knows.. Looks nice!

Here is what the back of my wheel looks like to show how clean and also the specs.... They are 18x8.5 F and 18x9.5 R with 255/35/18 Pontenza RE050A all around

Looking good, just get those rears dialed in.

What's up front now? stockies?

Front is actually kind of sunk hahaha. Kinda weird.... Might be because of my camber, not running too much right now though.

Yea you should just take out some camber in the front. When I had my 19s they were a little sunk in the front so I had spacers for a while.
I went and got an alignment today

I don't have any real recent pics of the car but you can kinda see it in this older pic. I'm putting up my old set for sale and looking for a new summer wheel soon.

ABC Exclusive (basically looks like a work euroline... I think it's made from enkei)



if anyones wondering, yes my front bumper is held together with white duct tape cause of a winter boo boo lol

I've been reading through pages and pages now to get to what the 'magic' numbers are, and from what it seems, optimal offsets (with a roll and maybe slight pull-- no major work needed) is:

18x10 ~ 20 F
18x11 ~ 20 R

My Question:

I just stumbled on a good deal for a full set of wheels with tires, details are:

18x9 +3 F (225/35)
18x10.5 +4 R (225/40)

I'm pretty sure the fronts wont be any problem at all with just a roll, but are the rears ok? once I roll, perhaps pull a bit while doing so, will those not rub? Maybe with like -3 camber? I'm looking for actually flush, so once the springs compress, the wheel goes under the fender, not into it haha.

Also, their Meisters for reference. I hope 18" Meisters don't look small on a stock 97+ body...

opinions? input? Thanks!!
