Default 20in wheels help

Im gettin wheels on Monday. The wheel Im gettin is the Lowenhart LD1. I was thinking of getting 20x8.5 all the way around will this be a problem? What tire size should I get and what offset? Would I need to roll my fenders or anything? My car is 1995 SC300. thanks...

With 20s, you'll want to lower your ride by an inch with springs/shocks or coilovers. This will rub the fender when you turn the wheel so you'll have to roll the fender. 8.5 will fit fine, and I believe the recommended tire width is 245/255 for those. Nice wheels BTW, make sure you post some pics for us to see. Never seen an SC on LD-1s before.

SC with LD1's, 19's i think...the guy visited CL a few times. He's at JT Autobody.

I saw another dark colored SC with LD1's in Irvine a little while back, but I doubt it was anyone from around here.

I have 20x8.5 rims on my SC400. I have 245/35/20 tires. I have also lowered my car 1 inch with the Eibach Pro-Kit. It does not rub when turning, only on the plastic inner fender lining when making very sharp turns (steering wheel al the way to one side). Good luck, love the rims
