Default staggered wheels, how big will fit?

Im currently looking at 20x8.5 fronts 20x9.5 backs or 19's in the same width will the 20"ers fit? If they will what size tires should i be looking at? I want to have them at 1 finger gap or even maybe tucked a frog hair at the fenders so thats what im lookin at, please let me know guys....

those will fit with the correct offsets and you can probably pull off 245s in the front and 285s in the rear with out rolling the fenders. please do a search you'll find all the information you need on this topic.

that setup will fit.

245-35-(19) or 20
275-30-(19) or 20

if you get dubs, you cannot lower it a whole bunch unless you do some minor fender mods in the front.

Well i could roll the fenders when they go to paint the car no problem and i want to lower to no finger gap. I want to have deep dishes and make it more racey looking that bling bling.

Maybe this would help turn those big wheels?

twizted, I would go with 19s if you want staggered. 20s are going to be a very tough fit and will hurt the suspension since the car was not designed for such a big/heavy wheel.

If you get coilovers, you can adjust the suspension to fit how you want. Your in GA, check out www.seloc.net for your local Atlanta meet.

Got my 93' sc400 today and man i like it!

Ok so will this fit 20x9.5 rear 35mm offset 20x8.5 front 32mm offset tires 285/30/20 rear 245/35/20 front and im planning to roll fenders and do the simple 1" drop what do you think?

I know 19 might be the better choice but i am use to ridin on 215/35/19 and 225/35 small dinky tires so im sur ethis will ride better than that without any fuss. I want to really fill these wheel wells out and i plan on a vertex body kit so it doesnt look like a 4x4.....
