those picture look amazing. good photoshop work too. car looks clean and the color is nice. I like how u painted the bumper grill black and put in a mesh grill next to the foglights. Wheels go good with that car.

I wish my stock lip was still in good shape. Those pics make me wanna paint it body color so bad.

19 x 8 and chrome... well HMC...

tire size - 245 / 35 / 19

I think next I wanna go with 19" up front and 20" in the read though... but someone with a big lip on it.. I'm also looking into getting a bodykit fabricated... something pretty simple, but different

with two different rim sizes like that will that mess up the suspension

That's true and not true. If the rear rims are larger, then the tires have to be thinner. For example, if he goes 245/35/19 for front, then he'll need 275/30/20 for rear. However, that's pretty much at the margin. Also, rolling or cutting the fender is a must or rubbing will happen for sure.

why the HELL would that be?

staggered wheels are NOT that uncommon





tire sizes would make up the difference

It's because those cars in the picture have a different suspension setup including lengths, height, width, fender well...etc. There're a lot of factors. Those cars have low front while the rear is high. But in the SC or most coupes & sedans, the front suspension travel is higher than the rear. However, you can try & see.

Agreed. The pictured cars were setup from the factory with those wheel sizes in mind. The SC was not.

This is the part I would disagree with. These two sizes still produce different diameter wheels (25.8 (19) and 26.5 (20)). To get the same diameters, he'd need 245/30/20 in the rear so that both will have 25.8.

The other option would be to go 245/40/19 and 275/30/20. This will be 1" larger than spec but this is the diameter that the guys running typical 20s have.

The issue with both these sizes is that the sidewall is smaller on the 20s. Obviously, same diameter, more metal = less rubber. This just looks strange as I am imagining it.

But if CytrikAcyd is adventurous, he can always try and see like you suggested Steve.

Oh, what I meant was because he wanted 19" & 20". I don't have the exact measurement between .../30/...or .../35/...or .../40/...so it's just my broad suggestion. However, I totally don't prefer 20" on any SC because it's like driving on the edge. I've seen a guy using 20" on his 2001 GS400 that begged to exchange his wheel size. I'm using 245/40/18s for both front & rear with 1/2" spacers on rear . I like my setup that way. It looks the car sporty & lowdown.

CytrikAcyd

I can almost GUARANTEE you it'll work as long as the tire diameters are the same aka - lower sidewall on the rear

you people need to stop playing by the "rules" so damn much

Neo

It should work but will look "unbalanced" with the different sidewall heights (IMO ).

CytrikAcyd

I dunno, I'm just sick of my car to be honest with you...

gotta do something to keep my interest

I am actually looking into / figuring out how to make a custom / one off body kit... ha, this is the kinda **** that you end up thinkin about when you're an industrial design major, lol
