Default Just swapped to g35 wheels

Previous wheels were akita AK3 18x7.5
Tires were shot and one wheel had a bend in it that caused the tire to leak. all from the previous owner.
Old wheels


New wheels
Got em cheap with good tires, Still running the stock G35 tire size, they look a little big.

Looks awesome! I have the same problem as you had, i still have the rims/tires from the previous owner and they are HORRIBLE. Anyways right now im trying to find some really cheap rims+tires even stock ones, so far im looking at 350z rims, you think there are anymore suggested rims that can fit the SC300??

Im in the Tulsa/BA area


I definatly like the wheels better, and I think the taller tires (225/45 and 245/45) makes the car look fat, but they definatly ride much smoother than the 235/40s

Cool, another Tulsa guy. The best SC's in Oklahoma are all in Tulsa. I'm in Oklahoma City. If you ever want to come out to one of the big OKC/Tulsa Toyota/Lexus meets, check out the Oklahoma thread on Supra Forums located here for more information: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...40#post8213540

Yeah, these wheels look great. I couldn't find a set, so I went with IS350 wheels instead.

G35's look great....just bolt on? No spacers? Take a 3/4 view pic from the back so we can see the offset.
