Unfortunately your guess is as good as mine for the wheel size. For the tire size I can get tomorrow when I get to my car.

My SC400 came stock with 16's and they looked small. Go with 17's if you want to get this look but I'm not a fan of that style either unless it was on a truck.

I don't really like those wheels and yes 16' is small on an SC. Just my 2 cents. Either way it's your ride and do what you feel is best for you.

Doesn't look to shabby. Very balloon-y tires though.

As others said, a 17" would be 'best' for the look overall.

Props for going above and beyond the 'norm' on these boards which is filled with xxr wheel, rinse, repeat.

I like the look when form follows function.
If you like the wheels, do it.





With a matching or complimentary wheel, this would look great to me..... Cover the front wheel and take a look.
Any specs on the rear tire? I'm wanting to run 15x10 wheels with 5" backspacing and 295/50/R15 Tires
