I am very noob with my SC300. I got a 1995 SC300 about a month ago and am looking to put some nice wheels on it. I really like the look of the BBS LM but I can't afford them on my budget. One of my buddies is a rep at Varrstoen and I want to get the wheels from him.

I have been looking around at all the different cars on here and I like the 19" rim size. I know I will probably have to roll the fenders and maybe pull them a little.


Trust me. I have tried reading the OFFICIAL WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT thread but to me alot of this stuff is really a forgeing language so please don't hate on me. Please?

So my questions are:
1.) Is 19" a good size? I want the looks but I also want some thing that can stand up to spirited driving in the mountains. No track time.

2.) What width should I go with [staggered]? They offer 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5.

3.) What wheel offset? [0, 12, or 22]

4.) What size tire should I fit? Looking for something that has a slight stretch nothing over the top.

Thanks!

Do the 9.5 front, 10.5 rear. +22 if you want an easy fit, +12 if you don't mind rolling the fenders. +12/+15 is flush on an SC.

Hey thanks for the reply! I was just wondering, do you have wheels similar to these? Theres a pretty big lip. Would +22 fit without rolling? With +12 would I have to both roll AND pull? Thanks again!

+12/15 is poking and ull really have to stretch tires id go with +22 just for more tire size options also +22 is still gonna be flush in the rear the fronts will be sunk in a lil

Im interested in to seeing how this will look.

+22 would be perfect u will have to roll on the 9.5...

i did countless research on these wheels +12 is perfect for the front with a mini stretch on the tires... and +22 is flush for the rears!!!

if you want to be part of the hellaflush movement then +12/+15 is the way to go

only reason i haven't bit the bullet is because i'm stil having trouble figuring out if the hellaflush look is going to accept the power my na-t setup is dishing out

awesome! I'm not looking for hella flush though. +12f and +22r is flush but not poking?

yep the rear will be a slight poke and the biggest size ull probably get in there is a 255 or 245 tire but its better than being stuck with a 225 or 215 in the rears

I have 10.5 +15 in the rear and have no problem fitting 255 Federals which run big, you will not be stuck with smaller size tires.

Hey CalitriSC, how much camber did you have to run the fit the 255's? I have 245/40 on my varrstoens and I'm not a fan of the stretch.

Just the natural camber from the drop. I didn't have to adjust camber during the alignment. Its about -2.5

cmh

this is +35 front and rear.. rear is a 10 inch rim front is an 8.5... just so u get an idea of why im telling u to go with +22... but if u want poke or hellaflush the do otherwise... just sayin

mr.seam

yea +22 front and back should be fine, i might even get the same sets and put them on this week so ill post pics soon. But really flush set up is +12 +15
