Wheels are ssr d5r 19x9+40ish and 19x9.5+48ish
BFG G-Force T/As 245/40/19 and 275/40/19

The SC will also be lowered on TIEN CST Coilovers.

Wheels :
F: 19x8 +32 with 245/35 tires
R: 19x10 +43 with either 285 or 295/30 tires

Im pretty sure that I have to roll/cut the fenders but how is this setup? I just want as much tire on the ground as possible. Turbo + small tires = smoke/lose
Thanks again for the input guys!

Any one else can help me out with this? Dude told me it would be sunken in with the setup I have now, so what kind of spacers will I be needing to make it not so sunken in? Thanks again guys for the help.

it shouldn't be sunken in.. he's out of his mind... it will look similar to this: [IMG][/IMG]
thats 9.5" wide with 35 mm offset... 10" with 43 is almost identical as far as where the front side of the wheel sits... maybe 3mm inboard...

Default 20's on the SC

I have a lowered boosted sc300 and I came across a good deal on some wheels. I was looking for 18's but these are 20x8.5 +40 and 20x9.5 +40. will these fit? Does any one run this setup on their sc or know some one who has it? Any pictures would be great. Thanks guys.

Wow, what a mission to read through this thread!!! Ok I have a question for you people in the know

I'm on a serious budget for some wheels and I have found a few on e-bay that I like the look of.

here are the specs:

STYLE - ST-8 HYPER MESH II
SIZE - 19x8.5
BOLT PATTERN - 5x114.3
OFFSET - 45MM
FINISH - CHROME
LIP SIZE - HUGE 2"

and....

STYLE - ST-7 HYPER MESH
SIZE - 19X8.5 FRONT 19X9.5 REAR
BOLT PATTERN - 5x114.3
OFFSET - 32MM FRONT 35MM REAR
FINISH - CHROME
LIP SIZE - HUGE 2" FRONT 3" REAR

The question I have is which one will give me more of the flush look where the wheel and fender are flush? This is my daily driver, I love the car and want it to look nice and clean. I will lower it a bit but don't want to slam it nor do i want to do any fender or camber modifications... Just lower, flush, conservative and clean.... !!!!

any constructive advice would be helpful

Thank you

that will be sunken...40 offsets are not that great for our car. 18s are the best for performance

none of them will be flush, but if you are keen on getting them, then get the staggered set with offset in the 30s. The rears can pass as 'flush' (check my sig) but the fronts will be sunken a little bit

Thanks Kaydee... Okay, so if i go with these sizes how low should I drop the car If I want it to look good but not extreme (I want to be able to drive over speed bumps and such; daily driver)?

what sized tires? Keeping in mind that I don't want to have to roll my fenders (though I don't really know what tat is I just want to keep the body looking clean and stock)

If these wont be flush what size will be flush without rolling, with a small drop (1-2 ")?

SIZE - 19X8.5 FRONT 19X9.5 REAR

OFFSET - 32MM FRONT 35MM REAR

LIP SIZE - HUGE 2" FRONT 3" REAR

So these rims will bring the wheels more in-line with the fender right? Thanks so much in advance this stuff is all very new to me but I'm trying to learn instead of letting someone else do all the work for me...

I want to put the following on my car...

19x9.5 rear/ 19x8.5 front with a 2 and 3 inch lip respectively

there is an option for a 25 offset or 35 offset which should I choose?

I want a flush look!

Thanks
