this may be a noob question, but here it goes.
i know that having tires bigger/smaller than the original effects your odomter reading
so if i went up to 17" rims, say supra rims, would i have to subract roughly 2.5mm from the I.D.? im not exactly sure how tires are measured.

20x9 +20 225/30 & 20x10.5 +25 245/30 with rolled rears what will I need to do to fit on a dropped sc400? Already have around -1.5° camber all around.
Someone needs to make a Excel spread sheet because i'm sure many sizes have been asked about over and over but now at 271pgs that's a lot to skim through to find out.

varrstoens 19x10.5 +0
mounted and floating
control arm jacked up to ride height
prolly gonna go with a 245/35/19 and see what clearance looks like....if I can fit a wider tire, I will. My real te37's are the same sizing.

haha good question. Long story short, all the cars Ive built (numerious 240's) were all performance based and I actually drive them very hard. Lots of racing and drifting. Ive dented, cracked, curbed and destroyed wayy to much legit rims. Im alot smarter now. When I know Im going to drive hard and have fun, I simply bolt on the rims I can afford to thrash. When Im going to cruise and hard park, I throw on the real ones. Roads here in Hawaii SUCK! Potholes everywhere, freeway included. Ive been in the game long enough to be smart about. I hope you can understand.

- though I've been in the game long enough to see wheels explode on the track. And yeah, Varrstoens are one of those

Not a fan of 20's, I've only seen one SC on 20's that looked good... anyhoo, the front will probably fit, though you'll probably have to roll it so you can turn. The rear will need a pull, and -1.5 is mild... you might need to go around -2.2-ish for the fender to clear the wheel (not tire, just wheel)
