18x10.5 +23 235/40 all around. Just test fit. Will be putting some spacers in the rear and try to lower the front a bit more.

Your fitment looks the business and im looking at something along those lines also..
Just a flat roll all the way around with a fender roller. I might have done a tad bit of pulling in the process but it was minimal.

Just got it aligned today so I have exact camber numbers too. -3 degrees up front and -2.5 in the back.
Ignore the failed safety inspection. My car was ballin too hard for the first place I took it...
Oh and yes the car is extremely dirty. Sorry I'm not sorry. Hopefully that helps though snakehead.




Thanks man , really appreciate it.

Thanks! Looks like I'd have to space them out just a tad to get the look I want. Appreciate the pic though!

Default tire fitment
i have a 97 sc300 with stock suspension. i was wondering if anyone knew if 19x9.5 +15 up front and 19x.10.5 +15 in the rear would work or if they would stick out and also if any fender mods would be needed

You get 2 freebies since it's your first post and you're new here:

1. Will it work - yes.
2. Will it stick out? On stock suspension, yes, around 1.75 inches.

Photo below was taken with 19x9.5 +18 up front, at stock height. This photo is also in this thread; I suggest you read through the thread because the answers were already posted. Thanks

if you get coilovers, lower it, and run negative camber it'll still stick out and rub a little. You'll need a roll and a pull on all four corners, then your ca will sit like my car (link in my sig)

18x8.5 wheel all around on stock suspension. What tire size would provide the least rubbing?

It's the IS250 18" wheel - so I think +50?
