Default Will these fit? 19" Volk GT-C on SC300

Hey guys, I was wondering if these rims would fit on my 1992 SC300. I don't want to do any fender modifications if possible, but wouldn't mind removing the fender lining, but I don't want to roll the fenders. Just want to make sure it won't rub and hit the suspension. Here's the specs...

19" Volk GTC

Front: 19x8.5 +39 offset Face1 Front ------- Tires: 245/35/19 Yokohamas

Rear: 19x9.5 +37 offset Face 2 Rear -------- Tires: 275/30/19 Yokohamas

Car will be lowered using Tein Super Street Coilvers. Thanks.

knowing that we have a wheel/tire fitment guide and not reading it is bad.

not searching for one in the first place is bad.

So please search for the wheel/tire fitment guide. You'd be suprised what kind of info you'll find. From small diamter rims, super high offsets to large diameter rims and super low offsets.

Just look at the last few pages going on in CL. please.

if you think about it, it wouldn't matter since you have coilovers. you should be fine.

Sorry, if it seems that I did not go through and look at the tire and wheel fitment guide. I did look over the tire and fitment guide and know for certain that it will not extend beyond the fender, but I wasn't sure about it hitting the suspension on the inside of the tire next to the shock/struts. Sorry again if it seems that I just posted without researching first. So far I have picked up on a lot from Club Lexus forums and have to say that this is the best automotive forum I have been on yet. Thanks again for the input and I appreciate everyones help.

Depending on the amount of drop you have in the rear will determine if the tire will rub your fender lip. Otherwise, a 1-1&1/2 inch drop will be ideal for your goal. One of my boys have a set of VOLK GT-7's, 19x8.5 with a 35 offset up front and 19x9.5 with a 35 offset in the rear (Same tire specs). He rubs a little in the rears over bumps with a 1.5 inch drop. You will need to get rid of the fender lip lining to avoid rubbing your sidewalls.

This is next to impossible. Slap those babies on and takes some pics already damn it.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'm gonna get the rims and put them on. Once its on with coilovers, I"ll post pics. Have to wait for Todd at TM Engineering though so I can get the stuff installed. Thanks again for the help.

You'll have to trim the inner fender lip a little. I have the exact same setup and had to do this. It rubbed over bumps.
