Soarer, how does the car drive on the street? Any rubbing on the highway when going 75-85? Or do you have to take the slow lane?

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!

MAN, this is my future stance right here...what tires are you running? Camber? Coils or bags?

QUOTE=SuicidnS13;7695654]18 x 10/11 +15/20 respectively. Pretty sure no pull either... Just a shave~

@RaginLEXXX. Abosolutely no problem driving it on the street or highway, OTHER THAN, driving over speedbumps or driveways need to go very very slow and sideways. But nothing if i am just driving on normal streets or highway, it can hold up to speed without and scratches or rubbing. loving it so far with my new setup!, I was planning to go with the VIP look with lots of dish on the wheels but I had a killer deal with my work who deals with Rays, so i went with the Te37SL look. Turned out very good, would not trade it for any other wheel out there, PLUS these wheels are ridiculously light, 16lbs. with tire it seems like im lifting a 15inch wheel.

I found a good deal on some Racinghart 18's (w/ tires); although I wanted Rays 19's of which there were a nice set for sale on here; they don't include tires; so I felt I had to pass. The price is great, but Im wondering, is 18x7.5 too small for an SC?
I see most people on here with 18's are running 18x8.5 and 18x9.

18x7.5 and high offset is a big no-no. They look nice, but those wheels were made for FWD cars, not big RWD coupes. On the SC, these will look very sunk and way too narrow. Better off keeping your stock wheels.

Aloha everyone! Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all on this thread and board for all this valuable info. After having my SC now for 6 months, I've made my first move to customizing and personalizing my SC. I ordered some new rims and having some new tires mounted on. The specs are as follows:

f 18x9 | r 18x10 with +20 and +25 offsets

f 245/40/18 | r 275/35/18

I will be rolling the fenders as soon as I get my coil-overs in the beginning of 2014

Anyway, I'm super excited and looking forward to sharing some pics with you all soon


oh and BTW, you all have some real nice SC's :thumb up: keep representing this fine machine

Default Work Meister fitment

First off, great thread. It's awesome to see such a variety of nice wheels on the SC with detailed specs.

Although I didn't really find anything that was close to my specs, so I thought I'd ask. I have a set of 20's Work wheels that I'm going to be putting on my SC lowered on Tien SS coils, fenders rolled.

Fronts: 8.5 +42
Rears: 9.5 +38

The width and offset isn't typically what you'd call aggressive, but I was hoping the size of the wheel and wider tires could make up for it, especially in the rear since I'm turbocharged. What do you guys think? Can I fit these wheels with lets say 285's / 275's in the rear and 255's in the front? Should I go with 30's all around? Let me know what you think!

to fit this you'll need a 235, camber, and a fender pull, its still stock body as you can clearly see.
Hi there does anyone have any pictures of the front fixed up with fitment? Thanks

Can anyone tell me what rims these are? I'm about to buy them, the guy claims they are OEM Camry rims, and ES330 rims...yet I can't find anything on them. He gave me this part # ALY69417U20 which clearly doesn't match up. His part numbers don't really match up... I think they would be an awesome 16" Stock Replacement, which is what I am looking for. The price is cheap too, but I'm not sure if they are real Toyota parts or some knock offs.

16x6.5

I'm not sure about the authenticity of the ones you want to buy specifically, but this style came with SportDesign ES330. But since he has a Toyota box with them, they're probably real.
