Aw, damn. I was honestly thinking it was a decent price because of the somewhat young tires on them. How much would you pay for them?

the wheels in question:

Double post, bust might end up not even buying those OEMS. Found 18x8 +40 offset for exact same price, including tires. Wondering how it'd sit on my sc4. Dunno if I'd need spacers.. completely new to all this

Welcome, first of all. In my experience, Michelins tend to run a little narrow; the 265s should stretch nicely on the 11's but those 245's are gonna have a pretty good stretch on those 10.5s.

May need spacers to push them out if not they will look sunken in. Im running 18x8.5 +40 and they look sunken in. You can see pic of my car in post #4973.. Side Note just made post #5000

The front is fine

The rear will poke out maybe 1/2" at most. What size tires are you going to install? Why stock height? I wouldn't install those wheels until I was lowered.

I would like to run 18x9.5 ET 30 all around ...245/40/18 out front and a 275/35/18 out back...how close will this setup be to rubbing the fender and quarter panel lips...would this need a mild roll on all 4 corners...

I will also be planning on lowering on a set of BC coilovers at some point.

Is anyone running a similar setup....Pics would be great

ill prob use 260/40 or 265/40 on the rear.... depending what needed to fit. stock height because i want to put the rims first and then lower the car 1" to properly make the wheels fit don't want to fender pulls and where i live i don't want my car to be too low, plus my driveway, and the bad roads in my area. I don't want my ar to be slammed i will daily it and wanted to be functional and drivable wherever I drive.

Default STI Wheels?

Does anyone know if these wheels would be ok to use on my SC300? They are off a Subaru STI limited edition. The bolt pattern is the same but I am not sure about the offset of 53?

these should fit. Supra MKIV TT wheels have an offset of +50 many SC owners have those

If you're pretty slammed, the fronts should still fit but would be very close and the rears may hit the fender and a slight roll may be required with those rear tire sizes.

One of the widest setups I've seen on a stock bodied SC was plex's:

Here are my widths and offsets:

18X10 +35 255/40/18
18x12 +54 315/30/18

https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/DSCN0369.jpg

Your 10.5 fronts will poke more than the 18x10 +35
