Default Are these wheels 18"s or 19"s

I have a 1993 SC400 and I'm thinking of getting this kit because it's nice and simple. I don't want to got through the hassels of changing fog lights and so forth as with other kits. This is a exclusive kit but the one i will be getting is the erebuni version because i heard its the same thing plus i can get it for only 500 bucks. I just want to know if 18"s would look good with this kit or should i invest in saving more money for the 19". I read alot of post and most people would say go with the 19"s if you get a body kit but to me 18"s look good on this car if they are indeed 18"s. I'll let you guys tell me what size these wheels on this SC is. BTW, name brand and model will help too.

The kit is not that bad. The front lip actually looks similar to the Wise front lip.

A little suggestion though, maybe you could try playing around with the idea of getting different rims. There are a whole football field of rims out there for you to choose from.

If you just want to mimic this guys car top to bottom, you might as well just insert his picture in your sig.

I am not sure if the small things are important to you but i would recommend that you choose another kit because right under the emblem there is no grill... but as for the rims i think they may be 18"'s

your choice


for example a choice with the grill

doesn't the grill just make it look so much better?

I like the grill but that kit would look better with 19"s. That kit makes the car sit wide and i don't think 18"s are going to cut it.

Hey Iron. For example, I want my car to sit like yours. IMO your car sits perfectly,,,,, not too low and not to high, just right with 18"s. What did you do to make your car sit well with 18"s. I see you have eibach and tokico. Nice job. I've seen other people on this forum with your same setup but yours sits alittle better than most. Guess its the wheel chioce.....

The thing with getting a kit with the grill is that I have to buy fog lights and harness and etc.

Maybe you should just save up until you have all of the pieces, since you're probably going to end up getting the kit for the 97+ models instead of the dated '92-'96 models anyway.

Just collect the parts you need and keep them in your garage until you have them all, and the money to have them painted.

Don't be like those cheap Eclipse and Civic owners and just throw on a primered bumper w/o fogs because you didn't have the money to buy them/paint it yet.

IMO, No. But I'm partial to the non-grill nose.

It looks like the Evolution (Signature??) kit more than anything. I like that kit a lot.

I reckon 18's would suit but make sure they're wide and good offset (ie. at least 8.5" wide fronts) and it'll look tough as

Correction. I think they are the old school OZ Chrono's.. Now they are called the Chrono Evos's or something like that.
