Those must be 20's which can work on an SC but like everyone said, drop it!

If you do decide to get another set of wheels, go with 19's or even 18's with a lip.

Everyone, my rims are 19". They look big from the picture, but not in real life, in the back i have 275.40.19 the reason i got that because i got both reach michilen pilot's for $60 almost brand new. I wanna slam it but it rubs right now in the rear a bit, who has some good coil overs for cheap? The offset is 38, i got the set like that, they are all 38mm offset.

if you're rubbing now with a drop, you're going to rub even more when you "slam" it...

those 40 series tires should be 30's...you're going to probably have to trim your fender or roll them...

Car itself looks great. The rims would look better if they had some lip. Too "flat" for my liking.
Nice car still.

yea i already grindeed my fenders down like crazy but still a little rub, i like the lip look too, i dont like the flat look either, only the front looks cool, but they dont make these ADR's no more, so it will be hard to find these rims with a lip. Thankx for the suggestion fellas!

Clean ride mate

Just at least change the profile of your rear tyres!!! 40 series rubber on 19's lol Go 30's and you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes - you are throwing your speedo off with a 275/40 - Speedo is off by 7.4% - at 60mph you are actually doing 64.5 mph. This is exponetial at higher speeds. 275/30, as mentioned, is the appropriate width/sidewall.

Otherwise, the car looks clean....but the 4 x 4 action is not healthy for you . I think it will look really good with the right tire and slammed accordingly.

Want some cheap coilovers - do a search on Supraforums or Google...you can get the Tein Basic Coilovers for a good price (MKIV Supra)
