Default Wheels on SC400

Hey just a quick question, would 4 18x10 5x4.5 +38 offset work at an Sc400, I know the backs would be fine, but would there be anouth clearance on the front?

no chance on a 10" for the front - max is 9.0

Peter is right (as usual). There is clearance to the inside (the SC does not have the suspension upright directly behind the tire like the IS/GS/LS/SC430 cars, but the 20x10 +38 will stick out past the fender about 1/2".

If it was a +50 offset, they'd sit flush with the fender, but would probably rub on lock-to-lock steering maneuvers. Sorry!

Im running 20x9 +38 all the way around on my SC and it rubs sightly with the wheel turned all the way when turning.
