Having a free Saturday morning, my son and I drove out to my shop to do a little work on the SC3. While there, he eyed a set of ADR M-Classics 18x8.5 sitting idle and asked whether we could put those on his car in lieu of the OEM rims. Thirty minutes later we were done. I took a few snapshots once he got home (only a few minutes drive) but the suspension had not quite settled after being jacked up.









The tires that were already on the rims are probably a bit undersized (225/40-18) and I figure a 245/40-18 gets the car back to stock overall rolling diameter. As it sits now, there is about 1.25" gap in the front and 1.5" gap in the rear. A 245-wide tire will close that gap but only modestly. Meanwhile, the rear could be a little bit wider. It is too bad that I didn't have a staggered set. I think a 9.0"-9.5" would work perfectly to fill the side gap. It might be that a spacer would be the simplest way to go. After that, it looks like the next thing to do is probably to drop it a bit.

 

Those wheels look great.

 

Free upgrades that are good upgrades are great!

Looks nice

 

Those are very similar to the TSW Valencia wheels I am looking at so appreciate you sharing the picture. I am torn between this style of wheel over a 5 spoke design.... Hard to decide.....

 

My two faves as well. I went with 5 spoke this time.

Those look SWEET!

 

Looks good, just add alittle bit of a drop and will look even better.

 

^ agree with AJayssc400

 

they look nice.

 

Looks good, but since I'm accustomed to stance I prefer nearly zero wheel gap :P

 

Looks good! Just needs to to be moar lowr.

 

^^^Wheels look good, yeah you need a drop and youre good to go

 

nice and clean

 

Nothing wrong with those. And I thought it was going to be another yuck thread.....

 

I got to see them yesterday in person, suspension has definitely settled, and there is not as much gap anymore. It looks pretty good.

 

Not bad. Looks pretty good
