wheel fitment

i own a 2002 sc430 and i was thinkig if i could put 18x9,5" rims front and rear ?
the offset you can get is et+30 and et+35
i think the sc430 would look fine as hell on those rims

the front is ok but the rear is way too conservative

so what offset do you think that will be ok ?
these are the offset the site gave up :
+12/+20/+25/+30/+35/+48

i got an silver car and i think these would fit fine

well..I suggest you do your homework a little more to understand why rominl said your wheel fitment in the rear is too conservative.

We are talking about your wheel fitment here, so there is nothing to do with the colors of your car and wheels.

You already have a weak start by choosing 18", not to mention you don't even consider a staggered setup.

If you really want 9.5" all around, I will do +30 in the front and +20 in the rear.

These guys are 100% correct, we are fortunate enough to own these coupes that can accomodate aggressive types of foreign and domestic wheels. If life gives u lemons, make lemonade.
