Default New wheels on my 97 sc300
Wasn't really looking for anything but i was browsing and seen these and figured i'd pick them up.They are Saleen replica wheels.They are 265/35/18 in the front 18X9 and 285/35/18 in the rear 18X10. I'll be getting my springs and finders rolled and pulled this week hopefully.Then she will sit nice.Also be changing the tire size to 245/35 in the front and 265/35 in the rear. What do you guys think? I'll also get some good quality pictures up.

Looks nice. Once you roll those fenders and drop it'll look real good.

Sweeeet!!! NICE SC! Great mod. You now need a LS400 BBK with those wheels. I have a set of LS400 front calipers for sale if you want to do this GREAT "bang for the buck" mod. That car would look great with red calipers! email if interested: draytonwebb@yahoo.com

Looks great! If you do plan on lowering it, you're gonna have a fun time with those wide tires. But i bet you have traction up the wazoo!

Nice salene knock offs man! I got the same wheels in black only 18x9 +24 offset all ardound. I like them except for the fact that I am not ready to roll my fenders I'd rather cut them or grind them so I can go lower.:0

Yeah, I hear ya that's why I want to put the 265's on the back and some 245's on the front. Do you think that would workout okay when I lower it ?

Yeah i forgot to mention that they were knockoffs. It's your car but i would definitely roll my fenders and pull them over cutting them and grinding. Just doesn't seem like that would be the way to go.I'm new to this big wheel game.The biggest wheels i've had were 16 on my hatchback.I recently sold to start doing things to this car.
