Cheeeeee! I just got my new wheels on my SC. Super stoked lol

Here are the specs:
Wheels: F 18x9 | R 18x10 with +20 offset
Tires: F 245/40/18 | R 275/35/18 with +25 offset

Going to need to shave and roll the fenders now since it's rubbing with passengers in the back seat.

I also will have to pull out the rear fenders a bit and maybe some camber to fit it once it's dropped with coilovers.

I Love the look of the copper / red combo

Is that to much poke in the front compared to the back? Do you think I will need fender mods? I'm dropped about 2 in.

Default Finally!!!!

Had the new wheels/tires installed today.

These are a TSW brand, Lumarai, the Kya model in 19s. The fronts are 19x8 +37 sporting Falken FK453 235x35 and the rears are 19x9.5 +44 with Falken FK453 275x30.

My thanks to all the posters on this thread for the great reads, advice, and information, especially jadu for all the pointers, and Raine for the inspiration.

hmm, I got a great deal on some RennTech Monolite Wheels, They are 19" +29 front, +42 Rear. Tire sizes are 255/35/19 front and 295/30/19 rear. The rears rub... a lot. The fronts rub, but not very much. Just wanted some info on rolling or pulling the rear fenders. Just came from a body shop that told me it would cost $1500-$1700 for the work BEFORE paint, to roll and pull the fender, Since i dont think rolling alone will be enough he said the inner wheel housing would need to be cut and have metal added to it to pull the fenders. If someone with experience in this matter on SC's could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it, Searched through the forums for a bit but couldnt find anything regarding the actual metal work involved with pulling the rear fenders. I would really like to keep these wheels if possible.. Thanks

plenty of people have these in the +15 offset: https://www.google.com/search?q=sc30...w=1236&bih=862

They will look like this with 8mm less poke.

If you're on a budget, I'd recommend renting a fender roller and rolling the fenders yourself. Either that or find someone reputable to do em for you. All you prolly need to do is roll your fenders completely flat. I wouldn't pay more than $100 to $120 bucks for that. Second, I'd put the front tires on the rear wheels and get the 235/35 or 245/35 for the fronts. IMO, these steps should significantly reduce the rubbing you're having.

Roll the fenders and smaller tires for sure. The 295s really aren't needed lol...

The rear rims are 10.5" so a 255 would have to be stretched to fit them, a fender roll isnt going to be enough. I was looking into getting the fenders pulled a bit, but the local places here dont know what im asking for and keep giving me quotes for $1500-2000 before paint...

A 265/30 would be perfect for the rear, tiny stretch. And they just need to be roles flat in the rear, that offset isn't aggressive really. No crazy pull or any kinda paint work is needed.

Still a work in progress but I figured I'd throw it up.

19x10.5 +10 front on 235/35/29
19x11.5 +10 rear on 275/30/19

quarters pulled and still working on front fenders
