any updates on the specs, and pics?

 

I know it can fit but it wont look as good if the offsets are 30-40+ range

 

did he ever receive these wheels?

 

Yeah they came...I've test fitted them, and they rub a little bit on the caliper carrier up front, but overall, for a high offset, they fit pretty good. Probably will run like a 10mm spacer up front and 15 out back, stretching 235/35s. It's pretty ridiculous.

Here's a couple ****ty cell phone pics from test fitting:

 

Life just isn't fair...

 

i love those wheels. looks good on the SC.

 

man wish i had some ssr's!

 

Yeah my friend bought a set for his GS300 he just picked up, and Tire Rack has a pair left that I might buy for a friend for drift spares, lol.

The offset is 55, but for how high it is, it's actually "nearly" flush (10.5" makes up a lot for the lack of good offset) some 15mm spacers should make it sit real nice, I'm pretty excited, just need two more tires, and (for now) two spacers to clear the front brakes, then they can go on.

 

man what a deal, totally snatched these. ima get some professors sooner or later thats for sure. lookiing awesome!

 

man that sux that you have to run spacers to even clear stock brakes. imagine if you have some ls400 or supra calipers. you would need a 30mm spacer. i dont like running spacer though. if the wheel is sunk in get better offset wheels, and if the wheels are too big...modify the body til they fit

they look great. actually i called tirerack with my "discount source" they still have like 6 or 8 of ssr d5r in 18x9.5+55 for like 150/ea. my guy said he can go down a bit on that too.

the reason that ssr wheels are cheap and a lot of them are discontinued is because they are moving to a much bigger manufacturing facility. they are scrapping the old wheel molds too

so if you have wheels that are old i suggest looking into finding at least one spare in case something happens because later you will be out of luck and pay an arm and leg for a right wheel.

get some tires on that thing and i wanna see it. with the suspenion unloaded it already looks like youre dumped. cant wait for picks.

 

so what are the sizes and offsets?

 

18x10.5+55 all around

 

Yeah I know it sucks that the offset is so high, but for the price, and the fact that I don't have much money right now because I'm in the middle of doing my 1J swap as well, I couldn't pass these up! I'm just needing 2 more tires and then I'll put them on...hopefully find some tires this week.

The suspension really doesn't unload that much, lol maybe moves 1.5-2 inches when you lift it off the ground

Anyways, thanks for all the comments and stuff.

Oh by the way, I bought 2 more today, lol the guy at Tire Rack said there are only 2 left now.

 

how flush are the wheels in the front or how much are they sunken in?

i set on getting RPF1's in matte black finish. im set on the rears. gonna run 18x10.5+15 with a 255-265 tire. ill pull the heck out of it if need be. lol.

im still deciding on the fronts. either 18x9.5+27 which is going to be flush as heck because i test fitted 18x9.+30 and was awesome.

or

18x10.5+15 in the front as well. after doing some measurements i think i can still egt away with at least a 245. if they stick out then might as well get over fenders. i need one fender painted and one replaced anyways and i can get some new origin +20mm front fenders for $350.

so after test fitting yours do you think 18x10.5+15 will be too crazy. they will stick out 40mm more then your right now.

 

wow 10.5 +55... id say you get some 10mm front spacers and rears get a 1 inch spacer.
