Default Just got a 93 SC

I just bought a garnet pearl sc 300
and I currently have rx8 rims, I like the look of it, and wanted to ask if it would match the car and if it would fit. 18x8 +50 offset, and what tires should I run with it, and if there would be some rubbing issues. If so, then I'll prolly look to get is350 stock rims.

i think 225 width for an sc is a little small, it looks much better with a little fatter tire...

I believe they should fit. I ran 18x8 +50 offset L-Sportline rims on my old SC400 with no problems. I ran them with 245 all around. The center bore will be different, but Lexus used a 60mm bore and most other cars are a bit larger. I would get some hub rings to make them fit snug.
