2015 RC350 F Sport
Targa M129 20x8.5 +35 20x10 +40
245 35 20 and 275 30 20 Toyo Extensa HP II

My car is not lowered, and there is some occasional rubbing in the front going over speed bumps and with some spirited driving. I have RSR downs, but considering not using them due to the rubbing.

Looks great. I just installed RSR springs on mine after adding 20" Niche and there is no change in the amount of rubbing I have with bumps. Those springs are stiffer than factory and I think that helps to balance things out. FYI, I only ended up adding the front springs as the rear gap was greatly reduced after increasing the size of the wheels from 19" -> 20".

What part of Texas?

Default 2016 RC 350 F Sport (RWD) Custom Wheels



Waited for these for 5 weeks and just got 'em on this week. Totally blown away with fit, finish, appearance. Stance SF03 in brushed titanium finish. Perfect color (I think) for the Silver Lining Metallic car color (SIDE NOTE: I MUCH prefer Atomic Silver--but I got this baby off a 2 year lease with less than 19K miles...LOADED, to include Mark Levinson sound which was a non-negotiable requirement--all for a STEAL). But I HATE the OEM wheels. Yes, they're a beautiful quality finish, but the look was WAY too busy for me. It looked like a dang bird's nest. And talk about a chore to clean (20 spokes per wheel?!). I wanted a cleaner, simpler look, mainly for appearance but easier cleaning is a BIG plus. This design and color fit the bill perfectly (for me).

So many variables in fitment and conflicting info (on this forum and others) about offset ranges etc. that I was nervous about something that might rub a fender or be too close to the brake calipers once mounted. Even though Stance Wheels don't show up on Discount Tire's website, Discount Tire CAN get them (and pretty much anything else I think). THEY stand behind fit, so in the highly unlikely event there's a problem, they'll own it, not you. And they did it for a lot less than any price I saw on all the internet dealers. (No, I don't work for Discount Tire but I believe in holding people accountable when they don't deliver what's promised AND in giving credit for great work and value. I got that on these wheels AND on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires I got six months ago). On the wheel finish: that brushed titanium is amazing. Of course it's a painted finish since the wheels are a roll forged aluminum alloy and the color is absolutely a titanium color). But the finish looks like ACTUAL brushed metal even from two inches away. Other products in the brushed titanium finish just looked like a darker shade of silver PAINT. I really can't say enough about how great these look. FYI, the slightly shiny titanium color comes out in the sunlight. In the shade or at night it shows as a gunmetal.

Specs: 19" diameter. 18.5 front and 19.5 rear (note: tire sizes are same as OEM and even though the wheels are half an inch wider, the their width fits smack in the center of the range for the OEM sized tires). Their wheels come in deep, mid and non concave face. Rear is mid, front is non (although the front actually has a slightly concave face). BONUS: They drill the hub size to order so you don't have to deal with adapter rings.

Just put on 20" Asanti ABL-5 with 38 offset on the front and it hits the caliper, Now I'm hearing it should have been a 27 offset, does that sound right to anyone?

I was wondering what’s the biggest size tire, in terms of width that i can put on the oem F-Sport wheels. Hoping to go up a size or two. Thanks

I get an occasional rub on the drivers side, but I think I may have a bad bushing or something. And this is not while turning the wheel. Only over speed bumps or an unnoticed dip in the road. It does not rub on the passenger side.

Was the 15mm spacer required to make the TSW Bathurst fit over the brake caliper?

Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum and have been looking everywhere for different wheel fitments for the RC 350. I would like to go with 20's but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this, just the basics. I saw this RCF with HRE's running 20x10 front and 20x11 rear +30/50. Would this work with the RC 350? If not what could I go with that would give me a similar stance with NO rubbing? I love the way it looks. Thanks!





And this is mine! lol

Hey,

Thats our RCF customer. We can get you that set of HRE for your car as well, just wouldn't be as aggressive but would look similar!

Do you scrape much? Have to angle a lot?
