i just purchased a set of racing hart c2 3 piece, and i am very excited and can't wait to put them on, but i have one little problem, the offset are 49, so i will need some spacer, i did some search and found out that h&r has spacer available, so just wondering how much are they ususally cost for all 4 and how long does it take to deliver??

might as well ask this if anyone of you have some spacers sitting in the garage or so, let me know.

thx

i love the c2, anyhow, how wide are they? im guessing you'll need some for the rears and im not sure about fronts, so yea

Isn't +49 offset ok? Ins't our car's offset +50?

so true. if you don't put spacers in the rear, your tires will stick inside the fender more. looks weird if you ask me.

depends on the width of the wheels.. the only way a +49 offset would look ok on the soarer is if the front wheel is a 9" wide and the rears are 10"-10.5" wide but if they're +49 all around and less than 9" wide all around, you'd definitely need spacers for both front and rear.. if you need help determining what size spacers to get, PM me.. I can help

they are 7.5 in the front and 8 in the back, just put the left rear on, look just fine, but haven't try to put the front on yet. i will let you all up date soon enough.

pics should be on the way once i put them all on.

p.s. paid 600 for them too, kinda got lucky, hehe

hey everyone, got a question for you all experts out there, i need tires for my front rims, the owner used 225/40/18 tires, and now i need to replace them coz he had some camber problem be4, so i came across a pair of 285/30/18 tires, so do you guys thing that pair will fit onto my 18x7.5 rims??
thx

I'm a Falken wholesale distributor, and according to Falken, 285/30ZR18 tires are reccomended for 10"-11" wide rims. The widest they reccomend for a 7.5" wide rim is 225 (although I've installed 235's on them before). You'll have rubbing issues with a 285's in front anyway.

and you said your front rim is 18x7.5 with a 49 offset and you said it looks ok? doesn't it sit in too much?

that's what i m thinking exactly, but i just want to make sure, and what are the outcome be if i get them, anyhow thx a lot ken

boy... 49offset on a 7.5 " rim has gotta look small... honestly thats the combo i need on my es300
hint... lol ...
anyway good luck but on an sc i think u will want to go wider...
great choice in rims though

Sorry buddy - as mentioned, you can't go much more than a 235 on a 7.5" wheel.
With that offset, they are going to still tuck under the wheel well like the OEM wheel. Not sure if spacers will help much (I believe they are +5mm) which would sit them out somewhat. I say keep an eye on the classifieds - I think there was a set in the SC or GS classifieds for around $100 - 150.

I have two sets of H&R 5mm spacers for Toyota/Lexus. $40ea. plus shipping if your interested. They come with the longer wheel studs if needed. PM me if you are interested.

cool thx, will let you know

this set up isn't going to look good on the sc.. if i were you, i'd sell it to one of the ES guys.. profit off it since you got such a good deal on them.. and get some other wheels with correct offset and widths for the sc... but if you decide to keep these.. good luck finding the correct spacers and hope they turn out good for ya!
