Default Possibly figured out the offset/tire/wheel for the SC...Please double check for me.

Ok guys, I know this has been discussed for other people's cars and whatnot and I've read a lot of other people's offsets/wheels/tire sizes, but this is what I think is going to work for my SC300. I just want some peice of mind knowing I'm not trying to go too aggressive and will rub over any/everything.

Wheels: SSR D5R in gunmetal

Front: 18x9 +37 offset with a Sumitomo HTR Z II 245/40/18 tire

Rear 18x10 +38 offset with a Sumitomo HTR Z II 285/35/18 tire

I want the car to have that aggressive stance with the wide tires and to have max dish, but I don't want to do any, if possible, any fender rolling. Anyone have their inputs? +40 +++ offsets are available, but I'm more worried about the whole combination I think I have put together is off. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. The car will be lowered aggressively also.

again i am not expert in the sc fitment, but from what i have read so far, these offsets seem to be a bit too low for the car? i think you will need to do some fender shaving

Going less than +40 on the front is gonna mess up your handling and dramatically increase your tramlining. You may be OK with that, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

You will be just fine with these specs on your wheels, you dont need fender rolling and there wont be any rubbing, but i would get 235/35 or 245/35 in the front. A lot of people say i heard bad things or i think it will rub, dont listen to them, best way to find out is just DO IT yourself. Have fun bud.
