Default Volk AV3

Will Volk AV3 with a +33mm offset fit my SC400? Also does anyone know if they clear Big Brakes? i.e. Supra TT Calipers.

Default A few things...

First off - this is covered if you do a search

Secondly, you did not say what size you are referring to - 18 or 19

So, here is some information:

Staggered 19"
Front Wheel - 19x8.5 (+38 to +45) or 19x9 (+42)
Front Tire - 245/40-19

Rear Wheel - 19x10 (+42 to +47)
Rear Tire - 275/35-19


In general:

19x8.5, +38 to +45 [front]
19x9.5, +38 to +45 [rear]




On the rear, you can also do a 19" x 10" or 20" x 10" with a +42 offset. I haven't pushed the limits on a 10" wide setup but I know a +42 will work and depending on the tire, you can probably push it out a little more (like +40). Also, depending on the wheel design, you can go down to +47 if need be.

On the front, you can also do a 19" x 9" or 20" x 9". Again, +42 or so should be good....I wouldn't go much deeper than that...you'll start getting too close to the suspension upright...

And don't forget about brake clearance if you have a big brake kit (well, except for the Wilwood 6-piston setup I'm working on which will have the same caliper clearance needs as the stock caliper.) For those, you'll need a high disk setup...I recommend using a 8.5" wide wheel with a +38 just to be safe...


Lastly, this is the wrong forum - best support for this is in the Tire Rack section

Good luck in modding your car!


Moving....

One other thing - 33 offset is possibly too aggressive for the SC, and if you do not get a high disk setup for the front, not going to clear the calipers (TT). Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

They are 18's. I did do a search but they say nothing about 18"s or a +33mm offset. They are 18X8

The Supra TT Calipers are very bulky, relative to other BBs. I believe I have a +39 on my 8.5" front wheel. I had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the Supra TT Calipers.
