SC300.

Those VS-SS should fit just fine with minor fender roll if anything.

The numbers I mentioned above are not offsets. They are how much the wheels will stick out more compared to my current wheels.

One of our show cars had the 3pc forged SSR's imported a long while ago. 18x8 front +12, 18x9 rear +21. Fit perfectly fine with just minor fender rolling.

Being they are a very rare rim, no body will know what they are. I think in the 2 years that car has been to shows, only ONE person has actually known what they are.

Very rare, very JDM. If thats what you want, they are the rims. If you want mainstream fan boy stuff that gets acknowledged like Volks or Works, don't buy these SSRs.

Thanks for the pics blackops! Good to see what they look like on an SC. The SSR are still available, but not sure if the set I am looking at will clear bigger brakes. The Works have been sold already.

In the meantime, I got some supra tt wheels to clear ls400 calipers in the near future since my current calipers seem like they are about to seize.

SSR Vardens no doubt... You can never go wrong with Mesh wheels on an SC... or on any car for that matter... but i might be a lil biased haha

The vardens are made for some serious brakes, SSR doesn't produce 3 piece forged limited edition rims without thinking ahead. On the stock SC front brakes theres probably close to 1in of space.
