Cool Zauber will these fit SC400?

Will the Zauber Gettins below fit a SC400?
Size for front 18x8.5 (+ 36) high disks rear 18x9.5 (+ 37) super low disks.
I would like to run 235/245's up front and 265/275 on the rear.
I think the offset is pushing things, but would like to hear your opinion.
Cheers,
Steve

easily fits an sc... the rear offset is low considering the width but should work fine...
I'm sure Romi will chime in shortly....

P.S. this is a JDM car with the airbag suspension so I need it to clear the guards with no rubbing when its set on low on the controller.

great man, i am getting my names all over the place now @_@

anyway, i think the wheels will fit no problem. the rear offset is a bit low but i think with 265 it should fit

now i am not sure about the air suspension though, i haven't gotten enough exposure to that area

Do you think I will need to mod the lip to get it 'tucked' (I think thats how you guys refer to the guard being below the top of the tire).
You think the 275's will be too wide?

well to be safe, i always suggest people to just shave the rear fender lip for the heck of it. it's not hard at all, and it's good insurnace

with 275, i think it's going to be tight. i have a feeling if you shave the whole fender lip it's going to be ok. but keep in mind i am not 100% on sc setup. i know a lot more for the gs and the is

yes, you will. if you drop it too low, you will rub.

hit a dip, you will rub. im speaking from experience.

Get them. Zauber's look great on a SC. trust me, i know! hehe

I dont mind rolling the lip up so it sits on a 45 degree angle, or cutting it up to the screw holes but i dont want to go any further than that.
Do you think that is enough?
I don't want it to rub at all!

If thats not possible with this set I shall give it a miss although they do look great, and I had something planned for them to make them even better
