Default looking for rims... 19x13?

has anyone made 19x13s fit on the rear and 19x11 on the front?

What offset and tires required? what other work was needed?

In the front try getting some vertex over fenders give you a little more room. in the back you need some pretty high offset and strecthed tires to make it fit. Not to mention the amount of pulling and rolling you will need to do and also some negative camber. Good luck

Well Milton (camberSC) has 18x11 in the rear but with a pretty low offset, so with a higher offset I'm sure you could make them fit with some fender modifications. Take a look at his thread if you haven't already. (818 work equips)

buy higher offset, do you mean positive? or lower as negative offset?

what is the offset of the stock wheels?

By higher offset, I mean a larger, positive number.
I think the stock wheels are something like +45

wow so there should be a lot of room in our wheel well for really wide wheels, if i get something on the negative side...

so if we have 16x7 stock....

7/2 + 45mm = 5.27"

5.27" * 2 = approximately 10.5"....we should be able to fit a 10.5" wheel with 0 offset... (fender mods may be necessary, but it shouldn't interfere with the suspension or brakes..

but we may have room for more...

anyone can point me to examples of wide rims on an sc?

alright guys, maybe I got a bit out of hand,

For the mean time i came across a great deal for 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rims

here are my options for the front:

ST585951420BK 19x8.50 5x114.3 20 GLOSS BLACK
ST585951432BK 19x8.50 5x114.3 32 GLOSS BLACK
ST585951438BK 19x8.50 5x114.3 38 GLOSS BLACK
ST585951445BK 19x8.50 5x114.3 45 GLOSS BLACK
ST595951425BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 25 GLOSS BLACK
ST595951435BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 35 GLOSS BLACK
ST595951448BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 48 GLOSS BLACK

and for the rear:

ST595951425BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 25 GLOSS BLACK
ST595951435BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 35 GLOSS BLACK
ST595951448BK 19x9.50 5x114.3 48 GLOSS BLACK


I would prefer to have 9.5s in the front as well...what is the correct offsets I should be picking if I went with 19x8.8/9.5 staggered or 19x9.5 front and back?

I am thinking to get 275s for the 9.5s and 245s for the 8.5s

you can make the 13 fit but u have to mod fenders and run camber. its possible. i think the stock sc300 wheels are +50. im pretty sure. im going 19x9f and 19x12r this next month =).cant wait. ima run a +30 in the rear and some camber with some custom pulled fenders and i should be good. man me and milton got it coming for u guys this year =)

Thats actually ideal, you will have no problems with that
On my 93, I run a 235 on a 9.5 Fronts & a 245 on my 10.5's Rears.

I wouldnt suggest getting 19s with a wide barrel unless you are planning to keep a very conservative height. Keep in mind that in order to fit those widths you'd have to keep a low offset and stretch some tires. If you want to stay low you should definitely go on some 18s with 11 inch widths in the front and 13 in the rear with low offsets and some stretch rubber. Fender modifications are a must. I know that somehow someway these will fit. Because Im buying a set of wheels with this fitment for my brother so I will NOT let them not fit. Good luck!

If you're gonna run that wide, I'd suggest going with a 18 unless you use a very conservative offset and don't plan on going too low. I'm running a 19X10.5 with a -5 offset and it was pretty tough to make them fit and be low. Lots of camber, and heavy fender mods with a big hammer and fender roller to make it work, and get it low.
