will be buying a sc430 and have some wheel questions
i've searched quite a bit. but want to ask the questions anyways.
1. What tire sizes do you recommend to get this look?
19", 20"? and should i go with the lowering spring or coilovers?
2. Is it even necessary to get lowering springs if i do the 20"s?
3. good online places to find rims?
thanks. looking forward to being part of this family.

Hi mrazndead1,
those are definately 19's.. im assuming 19x8.5 infront and 19x 9.5 rear.. Width of the rims could be different but if you want tires that thin from the side they look like there 30mm..
235/30/19 front to be exact and perhaps 245/30/19 in rear..
Im not sure about lowering but I have the following with stock height and it works well:
20 x 8.5 (+ 20 offset) with 225/35/20 Front
20 x 10 (+23 offset) with 255/35/20 Rear
Im more for the wide aggressive look rather then lowered.. plus lowering the car may cause other problems but someone experienced will have to help you with that.. but you must change the bushings to polyurethane as it makes a GREAT difference to the original wobbly ride and will stop your ball joints above and below from going lose or wearing out quicker!..
anyhow if your considering this car check up on the bushing and handling stuff as that would probably be your biggest concern later just like me!
