Default 20" (Dubs) on a SC400

g'day all!

my first post

looking at selling my commonwdhore and buying a real car!!

at the moment i'm looking at an SC400 with about 115,000km on the clock... looks in good nick!

she has the adjustable suspension etc. and i just wanted to know what i need to do to be able to put some 20's on her...

i know with commodores i would need coilovers etc, but with the lexus suspension i have absolutely no idea!!

wheels im looking at are Binno B930's. in either 20x8 or 20x9... would they just go straight on??

I personally don't care fo 20" on SCs... I think they are WAY TOO BIG...

19s" would be the MAX I would even think about running. 20s would make your car look like it's jacked up even when it's lowered. I think they are too Blingy (not my personal taste)..


But enjoy what ever you do

i need to know is if i can fit them on the SC400 without putting coilovers etc...

the sc400 has a kit on it. 20's would fill out the guards perfectly.

haha, you want 20's on stock suspension? It's going to look like you're waiting for a flood.

if its gonna look 4x4 i'll get her dumped! how much of a difference does the airbag type suspension make?

Though I would like to make sweet love to AutoCoutures rims (and car), I still think 20s are too big
