SSR Varden Sports but I think the Work VS-SS would look good, too.

SSR Varden is an easy choice man.....don't even know why you're debating over this.

Thanks for all the feedback. Seems like the poll is pretty unanimous in favor of the SSRs.

I guess its a debate because of how attractive the lip is on the Works and the black center might go well with the black emblems I have on my car. The offsets can always be adjusted and fitment is not an issue with rolling/pulling the fenders.

Compared to supra na wheels currently on my car 16x8, 16x9 w/ +50 offset all around:

Work VS-SS - will stick out roughly f: 25mm, r: 43mm
SSR Varden - will stick out roughly f: 30mm, r: 30mm

Difference is that the Work is a tad more conservative in the front, but more aggressive in the rear. On the other hand, the SSR is a tad more aggressive in the front, but more conservative in the rear.

That calculation is wrong brother, esp on a SC300. Those stock wheels you are using is not going to be flushed with your fenders. You gotta compensate for that extra space. And also, you gotta factor in the disk mesurements.

I am running 18x9+8 Low disk and 18x10-5 SLo. Disk Work VSKF's on my
SC300.

Those VS-SS should fit just fine with minor fender roll if anything.

Out of curiosity, what size tire are you running? Any camber?

Which brings up a good point, if you're going to run 275's on the rear, you'll have to do more work, than if you're going to stretch a 235 or 245 on there.

I love he SSR look but cant look away from the VS-SS sizing. I'd like the VS-SS if they were polished not black.
