I have a 20x10.5 in the rear, it slightly touches the fenders on a full bump but the
size is a bit aggressive. 20x10.5 ET35
I guess no rubbing if you were to go with a ET38 or maybe ET40 to be safe.
Current tires are Continental Sports Contact 305/25-20 but I know there is a
285/25-20 available from Pirelli now so use these and maybe it will fit perfectly
with size now.

oh excuse me I had my own size wrong..
correct size was 20x11.0 ET40 with 305/25-20
i will post pics when i get a chance but don't expect lips since the original wheel
wasn't made for the SC.
I am using spacers to change the PCD and the size above is what it ended up
with the spacers.
I can put a full hand between the back of the disk and the poor brake in the rear.
So if I were to make this wheel specially for the SC, I guess I could have got like a
4" lip? The one thats on now is less than 2inches

Thanks KUSSEIN but I am changing wheels soon and the size is 20x10.0 ET23
I'm not so into the fat tires so 10.0 is enough for me.
I will use 285/25-20s for these.
With the 10J ET23, little mod to the fenders may be required but I simply have no choice
cause I can't change the offset by 1mm and get as much lip depth at the same time.
If I were to stay safe, then I'd go with ET26to28.
Keeping the same outside position, a 10.5 would be ET32to34 as far as calculation goes.
Good luck on your size choice!

Oh and keep in mind that this size is based on lowering the car.
The more you drop it the more camber is added so it fits nicely in the fenders.
If you use the same size with stock height, I am pretty much sure that it will stick out.

10.5 or even 11 wiill fit on the sc430 easy no problem. with 10.5 you can use 295 if you want and with 11 you can go up to 305 if you are inclined, you just need to be careful with the offset, but on the sc430 it's very easy coz' it has tons of space
