Class In Session: SSR Professor SP1 Meets MM IS F
Wheels: 20" SSR Professor SP1's
Color: Custom
Sizes: 20 x 9 Front & 20 X 10.5 Rear
Offsets: +37 Front & +43 Rear
Tires: 245/30 Front & 285/25 Rear Toyo Proxes TIR
Suspension: KW Variant 3
Rear fenders are shaved, no rubbing at all.
Just a couple pics for now.
The good:After a 3 month wait I picked up my wheels this week had them mounted on Friday and spent most of Saturday adjusting the height on the coilovers and putting on the black pearl emblems.
The bad: Went to dinner last night with my wife and friends and got rear ended by someone not paying attention pulling out of a parking lot .
Special thanks to Tanabe USA, Toyo Tires, KW NA, Magic Film (3M Crystalline tint and clear bra), James @ PitCrew Motorsports (wheel mounting and balancing as well as fender shaving), Primecut (for his help confirming his offsets) and the rest of the members of CL for tips, ideas etc.
There is still more to come, I have some other parts on the way and a proper photo shoot planned

Thanks, but a 285 tire is not stretched on a 10.5" rim and per the Toyo and Yokohama tire guide it is only recommended for a 10.5 rim.

A 275 section width would be a stretched tire on a 10.5" rim
Thanks
Thanks and please see above.
Thanks again, there is one other guy on the 2IS forum that had these on his car. The SP1 is one of my favorite wheels ever and these are the second set I've owned. I bought a set 7 years ago for another car.

All the other 285s are on 10.0" rims. I don't like the look regardless of what Toyo specs, the same as a 255/40/17 on a Supra's stock rim looks stretched even though it's not.

The tire isn't stretched, the rim is still covered by the tire. I think the 285/25 with the shorter sidewall along with the angle of the picture is giving you the illusion that it's stretched. I would have loved to put a 295 on there but that wasn't going to happen on stock fenders even with them shaved.

Honestly I'd like 295s on all four corners, it's a heavy car and needs all it can get for what I do with it.
