fronts would need at least a 20mm spacer, rears would need 40mm to fit...

not only would you need ridiculous spacers, but you would also need to change the bolt pattern from 5-4.75 to 5-4.5 (5-120.65 to 5-114.3)

I found some wheels that are 20' and the tire size is 275x30ZR20 (Rear) and 245x35ZR20 (Front) and the offset is +22 front and +35 rear. Will these wheels fit on my sc400 without any issues. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3

What do you guys think of this photoshop?

Theyre 17x9 Sportmax 962 with a 2 7/8" lip. Will they fit without any issues? The tires on them now are 235/45




any opinions?
basically im on a college student budget and i really like the gold w/ red combo (for today at least)

depends on offset... somewhere in the 30-40mm range should be fine, less on the rears would be ok... I'd do a wider tire on the back though, maybe even the front too...

Here is my final set up for awhile.
Fronts are 18x8.5 +35offset fit perfect for me
Rears are 18x9.5 +45offset(+33.5 with the custom spacers)
I first used an 8mm spacer and felt they needed to come out abit more.
Had an 11.5mm spacer made and now they fit just where I like them.
I dont slam my car with the wheels/tires tucked into the fender well. I like them with just about a fingers or just abit less height between tire and well. I have trimmed the rear fenders and have left roughly a 1/4in left also. I am running extended studs with the custom hubcentric spacers I had made.

Quick question please

Would these fit my stock ride height 1994 sc400.

Size: 18x9 inch
Bolt Pattern : 5x114.3mm
Offset 26mm.

No modifications?

I dont even know a tire size. That could be in the answer as well. Sorry completely new to tires and such


Thanks,
Ben
