Oh my gosh, I'm sold on the Kazeras! Those things look amazing on the SC!
Sumtingwon, is your car lowered any? If so how much, and with what setup?

I have some Kumos on my 17in Tenzo's actually that im selling!!! I dont have a problem with them its a decent tire for the price. Anyways the 18 inch wheels are great the 19's do look good but for the availabiliy of tires for 19's are not always as available as are 18's Me Im gonna go with staggered rims 18.5 in the frount with a 18.9 in the rear for trac controll. I have 18's on my O3 corolla S with Pirelli super sports the pirelli tires will hit the wallet but i got my tires for like 100 a piece

Good Luck

Here are the kazeras on my baby.

2) KAZERA KZ-A 18" X 8.5"
(2) KAZERA KZ-A 18" X 9.5"

Got these at Tirerack.com for $1570 shipped to my door!

eibach 1" dropped spings
tokico struts..


Hahahahaa..just got a ticket last week for speeding. I didnt know that the cop was in the pic...guessed he droved by when i snapped a shot of my car. Is this a forshadow of upcoming events??? j/k i dont believe in superstition!

Anyhow..i hope u like these wheels.

Actually, i've been thinking hard. I really like the turbo route. Thinking if i can go with the older model sc for cheap so i can afford the turbo and the kit. Once you put on the kit...cant tell what year it is anyways. What do u guys think???

if this is the case..any takers on the sc300 or just the rims?

sorry,,the offset is as follows:

18/245/40 in the front (8.5)
18/265/35 in the back (9.5)

Its expensive to go staggered! Man..hope the tires will last me through this year..hehehheeeee. Its not like i can rotate the tires!!!!

18's or 19's ONLY. If you must get 17's the Supra wheels are the only ones (to me) that look decent.

The recommended size tires for the 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 setup is 245/40 and 265/35, but now that I look at the pictures it looks like I should go 275s in the back. Is 265/35 recommend because a wider tire would rub or something? If not should I go 275s in the rear?
