Good customer service for sure. Luckily my car is down as I'm pulling the motor so I'm not in a huge rush if I send them back.
I love the wheels I like the +20 offset too lol

New SC400 owner here in need of new skins. I found an online tire calculator:
Here's what's currently mounted:
Front. 235/45/17's :
diameter is 25.3", 9.3" wide, 79.5" circumference and 821 revs/mile.
Rear 255/40/17
diameter 25", 10" wide, 78.6" circumference and 830 revs/mile
I see stock is 225/55/16
dia 25.7", 8.9" wide, 80.8" circumference, 807 revs/mile.
I'm thinking of going to 245/45/17 all around so I can rotate wheels front - back
dia 25.7", 9.6" wide, 80.6" circumference, 809 revs/mile.
here's the rims I have with the car. Front what i can see it's been lowered and has coil overs out front. I don't think I'll have any issues. Am i missing anything?

I'm going to try to pull the fenders to see if I can fit the bigger tires. Right now I run a 9.5 +22 and run 255/35 with no issues with just a roll. If i send the wheels back I'll have to wait another 4-5 months for them to come in. The guy accidentally ordered the wrong offset on the back end so he's willing to work with me on however I want to proceed.
Good customer service for sure. Luckily my car is down as I'm pulling the motor so I'm not in a huge rush if I send them back.

Usually when I recommend tire sizes I take into consideration the clearance at any height just in case you hit a hard bump and the coils bottom out. If your car is higher than most on this site, then a 255 would work for normal driving and 265 might work with a pull.

I plan on buying my first set of wheels for my SC300 I just want to make sure they fit so that I don't spend a lot of money and then have them not fit (my fenders are rolled) , I am kind of new to this whole owning an SC300 thing so anything will help so the wheel specs are:
FRONT: 18x8+32
Rear: 18x9+32
FRONT: 18x8+32

-to start off i pretty new to the forum recently just got a sc and was looking forward to make it as classy clean and simple as possible. i just like the look that the body line give and something that stand out the most are the wheels so i cannnot do this car wrong and get funky funny looking wheels. and buying new wheels is pretty much my first time. i always have just tried my friends or someone as a test fit before purchasing my previous wheels but now i want to do something of my own.
so i looking forward to buying ssr sp3 for my sc. i will be on coil-over and i do not want it to poke out too much nor do i want it to sunk in either. maybe a flush and a tiny tuck is what I'm really looking for. camber wise I'm hoping in the -1.5 or -2 would be plenty for me. with that being said what offset should i get for my front? i was planing on getting 18x8.5 or maybe 18x9 maybe 9.5? would 8.5 look small and awkward? the offset that evasive motorsport is providing me are either +25, +30, +35,
+37, +43. stock speck are 55 so I'm sure 43 won't cut it. how aggressive would +25 be? would +30 suite me perfectly? what would y'all recommend? and then the rear I'm planing on going 18x10.5 and on offset I'm not too sure but there are only 4 offset i can choose from which are +25 +35 +43 and +55. Blkexcoupe i also send you a pm with some help as i can see your a very helpful person when its come to wheel and tire so i you or anyone can help shred some light and guide me to the right path much will be appreciated. also on the evasive motorsport page i was looking up to order my ssr where it showed the offset spec also has these weird (SL) (NR) (MD) whatever stuff, what are they? should i call in and asked? thanks in advance. sorry for so much question and I'm sure some guy on this form have what i looking for already posted but i went through 30pages from most recent to oldest but i wasn't too sure of myself and want to reach out to someone who's more of an expert at it then me.

The first thing you want to consider when buying brand new wheels is what type of brakes will you be running? If you have or want to run monoblocks in the future, then you need a wheel can accommodate that. That leads us into disk type or SL, NR, MD, and HP for SSR.
SL - Super Low
NR - Normal
MD - Mid
HP - Hyper disk
For our cars due to the brake design you can run any of those 4 in the rear. The front would require NR, MD, or HP to clear the stock calipers, but if you want to run monoblocks, then you'll need the HP wheels.
If it were my car with your requirements, -1.5 to -2 degrees of camber while being flush, then I would go with 18x9.5 +25(HP) front and 18x10.5 +30 (SL) rear. These would also work in the front 8.5 + 12 (HP), 9 +19 (HP), 9.5 +25 (HP)
If you scroll up to the post that I'm answering the questions about the NT-03+M (Post 5868) you'll see a link with wheels with very similar sizing.

I'll answer your question here, so it can help everyone else. First off, you should call evasive and speak with them. They're a great shop and they could easily answer all your questions.

wow this is amazing information thank you so much. I'm planing on running ls400 brakes in the future would the (NR) clear the front? or should i play it safe and got with (HP) and ill go do calculation on the tires later tonight when get home and ill confirm it with you guys. unless you have a tire size in mind that would fit perfectly with no rub issue and are not too hard to come by either.
