the only person i've seen pull off dubs on a stock bodied SC is Din...probably because he has it slammed to the floor.

I'd suggest 20's only if you have a bodykit with a nice lowered stance.

If I gave my honest opinion, I'd probably be banned.

NO Please, no 20s on the SC, it is a very delicate design, 19s are the max with a drop that looks good. 20s are just to say you have 20s, the car was not built for wheels that large.

My guess is these wheels would most likey fit your SC...But on the otherhand, would these wheels enhance the comestic side of your SC, probably not...Would they improve performance, absolutely not...These wheels would add more stress on your car because cheap manufactured chrome just weighs a ton!...Like others said, without the proper drop and body kit, your basically degrading the looks, performance and overall value of the car...I would drive around with my stock 16s than have those awful 20s on my beautiful SC...

But, its ultimately your decision rather or not you want these wheels on your car..I'm just giving you heads up from my personal experience with wheels and messing with different setups for my car...So my advice is to take your time and do some research. Since we DO have a great source of info here on the CL for you to browse by utilizing the search function...Best of luck to you and study hard!


Man, wheres Manaray when you need him...

Manaray & AutoCouture SC both have beautiful SC's on dubs...I don't think it looks bad at all...of course, at this point, with a bodykit, a nice drop, and 20's...all we can do is cruise....

my friends got 19's on his sc300 and it looks pretty good. but i think it would look better with a kit and he still got a little bit of wheel gap.

Regards,

Luke

dont do 20's unless you wanna be "tippin on 4 4's " lol.. it doesnt sit right w/o dropping it and if you drop it to low you can cause major damage i.e, front driver side fender has the ECU harnesses and can easily be shredded. 18 w drop and 19's if your local roads are good good Luck and keep us updated

p.s. those wheels are Ugly IMO of course

This is what mine looks (pics in sig...) like dropped on 20's, I love the way an SC looks with dubs. They fill up the fender well perfect with a little drop........
