dont go for anything smaller than 18" unless ur trying to do drag, 19" is the best look for sc300/400s save ur money if ur havent bought it already

not trying to go big wheel I have a set of 20 inch axis shine too but I have had transmission problem with heavy wheel . It tend to have low acceleration power then if you want to get up like a bat out of hell then the tranny stress out ,so yeah and thats on the 740i sport 01 so im pretty sure this will be worst then that situation . I have a buddy whos got the trd wheel but its 19 in and any forum on here with wheel pic of member

1. a 225 width tire is not strecthing at all on an 8.5" wheel.

2. an 8.5" wide wheel is too narrow for a wide wheelbase car like an SC. and dont even think about running any stretched tires on 8.5" on an SC.

3. get another set of wheels.
