What Offset Wheels on Sc300 w/ TT brakes
Well after my Z1s no longer fit I am going to be ordering new wheels. I am probably going to stick with 18s. Previously I had 18x10 on the rear Supra fitment and 18x8 Sc300 fitment. I was wondering what size and offset would be recomended on the front in order to clear my TT front brakes on the SC300? Any input would be appriciated.

The SC uses a +50 fitment as well, order your rolling stock for a Supra. By the way, did you ever find out about those 300psi anodized connectors for alum for me? I'm interested in a couple for a project i'm working on for someone. Thx Titan, sorry to hear the Techno's don't clear, very fond of those wheels, but i'm sure one of your customers will take them off your hands.

I will check into the connectors on monday, what sizes do you need so I can get the pricing for you.
Actually the same day a customer took the Z1s off my hands, and I now have 19 inch Z3s on order in 50 offset with a high disk, I will be super stoked if these fit as I should be the first in the nation with them.

Caliper Clearance v Wheel Offset:
Offset will not guarantee wheel fitment over brake calipers;
Caliper Clearance v Offset:
If you want to upgrade the brakes to the Supra TT fitment then wheel choice is important, many after market wheels will not fit over the existing calipers let alone the bigger Supra items. It's not the wheel size that creates the brake clearance fitment issue (specifically 17" rims and above are needed to go over the Supra TT brakes), it is more to do with the shape or architecture of the wheel back space....
