You'd need a pull too, not just a roll. I see where you're going - you want to be able to rotate tires LOL

If I'd need a pull not worth it - I just hoped I'd be able to fit them because I'll probably be running at least -4 camber up front anyways

But being able to rotate would be nice hahaha

Roll and pull is part if getting a nice fitment.

What are the specs on yours?

I still want to keep it completely functional. I'm thinking I'll try the 10.5's up front wrapped in 215/35

and at what point do you start sacrificing performance?
For instance, I going to see a big difference between a 235/35 and 265/35 in the rear?

Performance is a relative term, dependent on what you're actually doing - not what you think you're gonna do... Most people just daily their cars so "performance" for that application is focused in tire life and decent "street corner" ability.

The same goes with "functional" because it all depends on your personal definition. For example, for me functional is something where I don't have to go out of my way just to drive my car normally; that said, my setup isn't as "functional" as I'd like considering that I have to constantly look out for road hazards, pot holes, even steep driveways... Although that's primarily a fault of jacking a low hanging body kit, not wheel spec.

As for my setup - 9.5/10.5 225/35 and 265/30 on 19's. Camber is at 2.5/3.5, and my main "functional/performance" criteria was to be able to daily drive my car - and what I mean by "daily" is being able to go normal speed on the street and 80+ on the freeway without having to deal with rubbing or scraping etc. I find it amusing how much work some people put into their setup to go all slammed and flushed and stretched - only to have to crawl down an L.A. Freeway at no more than 60mph in the slow lane. That's not exactly "functional" because there's too much of a compromise in driveability just for the sake of being slammed and tucked and stretched out. Even worse is that those same people can't "rail" a corner or freeway transition ramp because their suspension specs are so whacked out just to fit their wheel/tire combo to look "hella flush" lol

Sure I slow down for driveways and angle for speed bumps- because of my body kit, but beyond that I have my car setup so I can drive it normally as if it were a stock car. I can fly down the highway without worrying about bottoming out, and I can take corners and windy roads without rubbing fender or being super unstable because if exaggerated camber specs. To me that is what I'd call "functional" without sacrificing daily driving "performance" and exactly what I was aiming for

I'm new to the sc, but not to wheel fitment. I'm looking at runnning 18x10.5 +19 w/ 245/40 and 18x11.5 +13 w/ 265/35. I figure I'll have to do a roll and pull, but not a crazy flare or anything. Should I run a smaller tires, or will I have enough clearance? Keep in mind the car will be somewhat slammed as well.

it'll clear but you'll need camber so it won't look "Mexiflush" lol

My car is completely set up for drifting, so I want to maintain the ability to do so, but I also want it to look pretty when it's parked. I've never been into the whole slammed society things personally (I admit it looks pretty ****ing awesome and I go check out the cars at Formula D) but I probably wouldn't ever do that to a personal car. I still get made fun of for rocking XXR's even though my engine alone is typically worth more than the person that is making fun of me's wheels and car altogether, lol.

Btw, where are you from? LA?

Well of course. Thanks though

After the LCA bushings in front are replaced early next month, will finally be ready to proceed with wheels/tires.

Selection landed on 235x35x19 +37 F and 275x30x19 +44 R. Any warnings or major mods on a lowered '92 SC300??? Thanks....

depends on the width bud

duh....


Left off the 235x8x19 F +37 and 275x9.5x19 +44..... (I am so stupid....)

Slightly sunken, so depending on ride height... I don't think you need to do anything really.

Maybe (MAYBE as in MAYYYBBBEE) you might have to do a small roll because of your 275 tire choice in the rear, but I'm not betting on it. You're good, nothing to really worry about with this fitment.

here is my new setup, 18x10.5 +22 F 18x11 +18 R Volk TE37SL BLACK EDITION.



wrapped with 255/40/18 F 275/35/18 R Bridgestone Potenza Re760 Sport



slammed with Fortune Auto coils w/swift spring upgrade 12k/8k spring rates. replaced all bushings



Fenders are rolled ALOT and pulled slightly, the soarers/sc fenders are so fu***** hard to pull. Right now I have no issues with any rubbing, just need to go sideways on bumps and whatnot cuz my bodykit runs low but nothing too annoying. I have tried putting on diff sets of tires before i made the decision to run this setup. i ran 245s F and 265 R but was too stretch to my liking. ran 265s F 295s R, was toooooo wide with stock body and less camber. I am running -3 and -3.5 camber right now. I use to like running stretched tire/rim setup but now i am the reverse. i want more meat on the ground so i can have more control!. hope this helps any1 who is trying to run a similar setup as this.

TE37 FTW!

Here is my setup. They are Alessio wheels which are a sub brand of top name wheel I can't remember though. They came with the car.

18x8 non staggered
245/40 tires
+35 mm offset.
Supra TT suspension

I really like how they fit on the car, although I think 18's are a little harsh over the bumps.
