19' wheels for SC400

Those are not offsets....those numbers are bolt patterns...and neither one would fit the SC, or any Lexus for that matter.....
The bolt pattern for our cars is 114.3 x 5, or aka 4.5 x 5
5x112 is for MBZ's, Audi's. or VW's
5x120 is for BMW's I think.....
As for Offsets, it depends on what wheel combo you want to go with.....like if you want a staggered setup or standard.....
For my 19" 's, I have +45 all around, this might be considered a bit aggressive, but it's the limit I think.

actually, 5x112 bolt pattern will fit our cars. i have club linea's which are dual bolt pattern(114.3 and 112). i've tried mounting a wheel using 112 bolt pattern to see if it would fit and it did. although, i dont think it would be a good idea to drive around with a 112mm wheel on a 114.3mm hub.

I would not want to be liable for someone making a $2k to $5k mistake....would you?
Lexus have plenty of wheels to choose from - the Bolt Pattern is 5 x 114.3, stick with that. I would hate to drive around with teeth chatter from vibration of a jerry-rigged setup (i.e. 5 x 112/120 on a 5 x 144.3 car - IF that is possible).
I guess my point is "Why bother?"
We have many different threads regarding the correct offset/diameter/width combinations....you guys really need to do a search. This questions is asked at least once every day, and answered every time.
Do a search for wheel fitment on the SC - it is all there. I promise!

The 112 might fit the 114.3 bolt pattern but did you try tightening the lugs and driving on it? With the 114.3 the studs will be centered in the hole pattern so when you tighten the lug nuts they will all seat perfectly. If you run a 112 on a 114.3 the lug nuts will not be able to seat themselves properly and will only add extra stress on the studs and probably will not hold its torque and loosen over time anyway.

In some cases you can slip a 112 onto a 114, but the issue is the center bore. The Lexus center bore is 60.06 and most 112 or 120 wheels are different, thus you need a hubring. Hubrings are not a problem, but on some crossover applications you can get vibration. I know someone that mounted Hartge wheels (120) on a GS (114) and had alot of vibrations.
