I have a wheel fitment question. I have a 1995 SC300. just ordered Megan Coil overs and was looking into rims. i want agressive fitment. I found some XXR wheels that are 18x9 +35 front and 18x10.5 +20 rear... i have not seen ANYONE with +20 in the rear. Ive seen +24 n +22 not +20... will these fit the car? or should i look elsewhere

Um... look again - I'm running 10.5" +20's in the rear.

BTW 9" +35 is far from "aggressive" - that wheel will be battleship up front.

I'm hoping raine can pop in on this, I need some spacer help.

I'm currently running 18x10 +25 on all four corners, with 225/40/R18's federal in the front nexxan in the rear.

I was just wondering what size spacers would anyone recommend to push the wheels out a little more. I'm dropped on pbm coils a good bit.

Here's the rear





the front

Well unlike most of the questions in this thread, you actually HAVE your wheels and tires on the car already, so it's just a matter of taking a tape measure and checking how far you want those wheels lips to sit, then get spacers that match

Fronts: 19x8.5 +28 (235/35)
Rears: 19x10 +43 (275/30)
Riding on stock suspension for another week. Installing Megan EZ soon
Might need to roll the front fenders. Gonna do the rears too, just in case i feel like putting on rear spaces to get it flushed.

I really need some camber and toe adjustment since my car is so much lower now, do you guys recommend any brands that make arms and camber kits? I asked 714 Tires and they suggest that I just get a fully adjustable set of control arms. The thing is, I've been searching for them but I only found rears. Are there any for all wheels? Do you guys recommend Megan?

Search for KingPhilip's "Blue Flame" thread, near the beginning he's got a bunch of adjustable arms listed with pics

235 will work, 245 better. Put some meat on the back, it is a RWD car

okay, if i have read this thread correctly, these size rims with tires should fit with no problem on stock suspension, except for maybe rolling the back fenders
F: 17x8.25 +25 215/55
R: 17x9.75 +25 255/55
right? and would this clear the ls400 calipers?
