i'm assuming your going for looks only, not performance. if looks, then i think it would look pretty cool. if for performance, go 18/17.

PSM Dave does it! He has a great set-up! 18/19 staggered Enkei RPF1's! Oh so lightweight!






I think he's running 18/17 here.

the theory is to have more sidewall on the tire.

I have 18x8 HP Evos in the front with 15mm spacers, 19x9.5 in the rear.

Don't have any pics, but I love the raked look, and it fits the car well. I'l get pics when i paint the car.

when i did the 17/18 it was purely for looks, i could care less about drifting.

the SC's have an almost natural raked look with the bodylines anyways so it flows pretty good.

I dunno...I don't think the sc really has the defined body look to pull off a staggered set up. That's something I would keep to vettes or something along those lines. But to each his/her own.

I really preferred Paco's look with the Saleens. That and i kinda like the thicker tires.

Paco, where did you purchase your rims from?

stick3- company called bones enterprise out of georgia i found them on ebay but they have a website as well, and gave me a better deal when i called them up..

the SC's body lines get higher from front to back, so i think the larger rear wheel worked pretty well.. I also had a 275/45 in the rear, my last SC was boosted and i was just going for mean stance on a budget lol..
