your car will look ridiculous at stock height with those wheels. trust me. lower first. then decide how much camber you want to run and how low you want to go, then select the wheels.

Just purchased a 98 sc400 and the previous owner had rims on the car and lowered the b vehicle but replaced it with the stock rims when sold it. What size rims would you guys recommend for more of the performance factor? I was thinking 18-19 but wanted to hear some opinions. Thanks. It's a black one and I was thinking black or gunmetal rims

hey i'm wondering if this setup will rub:
front: 18x9.5 +23 with 235/40
rear: 18x9.5 +15 with 265/35
lowering springs
less than 1° camber
simple fender roll (no cutting or pulling)

New coils should be coming in soon, so now looking for wheels. Came across 2013 OEM scion tc wheels which are for $650 OBO. Comes with tires. They're 18"x7.5. Wondering if the price is good or not aaand i'm pretty sure they'll fit nicely.. but just to make sure, will they?

When you say daytons, i think of hundreds of spokes. Work Emitz seem to be the closest thing to that with all its fins. is this the post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6385258-post77.html

those will fit but the offset of those are probably +45-50

Did you have to roll your fenders with those tC wheels? How sunk are they? Was thinking spacers would help out if they're sunk

F: 18x9 +25
R: 18x10.5 +20

I'm thinking 235/35 all around, opinions/suggestions?

That will give you a slightly round front but a stretched rear, it will look uneven.

If you go stagger with the wheel size you have to stagger the tire size to make the overall profile look even.

Thanks for the heads up,
how much camber would I need to fit 18x10.5 +20 in the front with a roll?
