Default Will rims (rear 19x10) front (19x8.5) fit on SC400?

I am currently looking to purchase a pair of rims and they are 19x10 and 19x8.5 I just wanna know if this will clear properly and won't rub on turns or anything.


Thanks
Vinnie

make sure the lug pattern is 5x114.3, I believe the SC can handle an offset of around 45-75. Can anybody give more exact numbers? I'm also thinking you may have to get an aftermarket camber kit. Anybody with 19's know for sure?

Do a search for this because I think a couple people have this setup. ChairmnoftheBoard has a setup of 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 I think and another person from Hawaii has a 19.9.5 and 19x10.5 setup on this SC with an Autocouture kit...

They can hopefully give you the offsets and what you'll need to do with your car.

BTW, nice interior Bladez...

They'll fit if the offset is correct, talk to 'SC400on20s', he just did this setup recently and can tell you about it, but you're going to need to be in the 40's. kyle, a +75 offset? That would put you halfway up the axle .....

10.5" in the back is going to be difficult, but probably not impossible. Just looking at a wheel calculator for the Supra, (close if not exactly like the SC), it says 19x10.5 with 50-55mm offset would work in back with a 285/30 tire. 45mm according to the calculator won't work on that wide of a rim probably hit the outside of the fender. The tire size must also be just right--if its too tall it will rub. These are just guesses, though.

18x10.5 with a +56mm offset will hit the perch on the strut. So if you want to go with offset that big, you would have to use coilover which doesn't have the big perch like Tiens. But if you are using 19's, its higher and might pass the perch. Good luck

offsets in the high 30s/low 40s should be perfect for this application.

What offsets are available for the wheel you're looking at? That will make it a LOT easier.

Most manufacturers only offer a certain amount of offsets and disk settings.

Post the #'s and we'll help you pick...
