Anyone give some input on what spacers would make these work? not looking for crazy flush fitment.
and what sizes would you suggest?
suggested brands?
19x7.5 +42
19x8 +46

dropped on coilovers...

For "square look" technically just by wheel size alone you would need a 255/35-18 up front + a 285/35-18 in the rear.

BUT it won't fit how you want it, mainly because of the offsets and how you want a "square look".

FRONT: a 8.5 +38 with a 235/35 clears the stock front fender with no roll or no pull. Tire has a slight stretch. If you change that to an 8.5 +28 (only a 10mm difference) and with the same tire fitment it now requires a roll and a pull. In comparison to your 9.5 +30, your wheel will sit about 0.8" (21mm) out more compared to the 8.5 +38 OR about 0.4" (10mm) farther out than the 8.5 +28. Add to that the "square tire" you want, and you'll have more fitment issues.

REAR: A 10.5" +43 with a 275/30 clears the stock rear fender but it needs just a fender roll.

Compared to your wheel, your wheel is +30 so it sticks out bout 1/2-inch farther than the example above (which only needed a fender roll to clear). On top of that you want a "square look" which will need even more clearance since the 275/30 in the example has a slight stretch.

Oh and by the way, with regards to the Achilles tires... let's just say that you definitely get what you pay for. LOL

They already fit as is, so they work.

looking at these project kics spacers..15mm for rear

now as far as hub rings...

they have a hub ring spacer ...then do I need a hub ring for my wheels?
basically do I need two rings per wheel? one for spacer and then one for wheel?

my wheels are 66.1.
car is 60.1

these below

then another set of hub rings for the wheels to spacer?
any input is appreciated

Yes, you will need another set of plastic hub rings. Search on ebay for 66.1 to 60.1 hub rings. They're typically $5.00 or so for an entire set. They slip right over the hub ring on your spacers.

That wheel sizing is FWD package-feeling buddy. You can "make it work" with spacers but it might not look the way you imagine it when done due to the very high offsets mixed with very narrow wheels - especially for 19's.

Spacer Sizing
With that wheel sizing you'd want to put at least a 10mm spacer up front to make it a 19x7.5 +32. That would bring the wheel out to a position that is near flush but does not require any fender rolling or pulling. The rear is the bigger issue - to get the same wheel position as the front (close to flush, but no fender mods needed) you'd need to put a spacer that is at least 30mm wide! This is because your rear wheel width of 8" is normally the minimum size aftermarket wheel width UP FRONT for the SC.

The Project Kics Spacers
First of all, that link you sent was for Project Kics' "special" hubcentric rings. "Special" in that they are designed to be used WITH Project Kics wide spacers. So you'd have to get the Project Kics wide spacers separately. Though I wouldn't recommend them, the included 4-pin special locknuts on the extended wheel spacers are soft and tend to strip out, or the 4-pin tool (used to install the spacers) breaks. This was told to me by my friend who works at Mackin Industries - the distributors of Project Kics LOL

Go with H&R hubcentric wheel spacers, tested and true.

Hub Rings
As for hub rings, you only need one set (4 pieces); one for each wheel, in between the wheel and the spacer. You don't need a hubring between the spacer and the brake rotor IF you buy the correct spacer for your car - meaning when you buy wheel spacers, you need to buy spacers that are hubcentric to 60.1mm... meaning don't get cheap "universal" spacers, get some that are fitted to 60.1mm.

For the hubcentric rings themselves, I typed in "60.1 hub ring" into eBay and Amazon and got a lot of items matching what you need.

Hello Fellow SC drivers!

New guy and I would like to introduce myself. Recently bought white 97 SC400 and now I've found my ways here. I've browsing around a lil and have found some really helpfuls DIY and other cool stuffs as well. Right now I'm trying to make the SC a road worthy by doing some works to it. Glad to be a member btw!

Need some help with offset guys. Someone local to me is selling G-games 19x8 with a 42 and 46 offset. Tires are 225/35/19.

How would this fit on an SC? Pics would be great if someone happens to have a similar fitment. I have spacers (I think 10-15mm-ish?) on my car with stock wheels now.

A friend of mine is selling his STI and I am wondering if these wheels will fit my sc.....18 x 10. + 38 With 265 35 18s. More concerned with the fronts.

^^^ you may need to run a 3mm spacer. Another member got 10s to fit, but he had +35 offset

I dont want to use spacers or roll my fenders.
