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 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

staggered wheels are NOT that uncommon

tire sizes would make up the difference

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.

NEO quoted: "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."
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.

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
