SCott300

Im thinking about selling my SC3 and getting a GS3 or GS4, so I have a couple q's.
-What is the widest rim that I can fit on the back with out rolling the fenders,18" and 19"?
-Does any 1 have any pics of their or some1 elses GS with 18"-19" rims with a deep lip?

I will most likely go w a staggered fit, thats how my SC is and I love the look

Welcome , i say 19" and the widest i think is 9.5-10 in the back.

Go with the 19's if you're going for looks and go with the 18's if you're looking for performance.

18 is way too small and 20 is the best...
But I stay with 19' so I have the best of both world..
depend on offset. but I think 10.5 should be no prob..

here are some pictures with 18's, I'll be picking up 19's eventually when I find what I want. Until then, these I think look good. Others may say they look too small... that would be an opinion, but it all matters what you think, so please be the judge for yourself...

Deep lip without rolling fenders, I guess that counts me out.

Here is a side view of 18" staggered. Note that the top pic (w/ TTE lip), the car height has been lowered compared to the bottom pic (w/ Greddy Lip)

I prefer 19s over 18s. 18s are OK depending on design and if it is full face. If there are lips involved, then definitely 19s.

18's are small. Go 20x8.5 front/20x10 rear.

See what happens if you don't search.

I went with 18 b/c I liked this design (early on) along with meatier and even tires for rotations.
I think the height of 19's are perfect b/c it's enough clearance without scraping when you lower the car and to close that wheel gap.
