Default 1995 sc300

I have a 1995 sc300 and i was wondering if you can put rays engineering gt-c rims that are 18x10 in the back and 18x9 in the front without having to cut out the fenders.What offset is right.Also what tires are best(brand and size).With these wheels and approprite tires , how much can the car be lowered without scraping?

18x9 may be a tight fit in the front if you plan on lowering, the rear should be fine.

answers to questions on offset and width
These apply to the SC as well

Right now I'm running the following setup and have no rubbing issues at all.

Volk GTU's
18x9's +37mm offset
255/35/18 S03's

18x10's +44mm offset
285/30/18

I also have Supra brakes all the way around and clearance is perfect for the calipers. As for the height of the car, I have the Eibach lowering springs for the sc (not supra) and kyb's on the car.

I could see if the car was any lower, I may have some rubbing in the rear. However, the front sits perfect!!

I'll snap some pics tonight to give you a better look of how they sit.
