Default CR Kai's best fitment on a sc3/soarer??



Here is my ride, and pretty much all stock, and now days I had been looking into these Work's CR Kai rims, but my concern and question is what will be the best fitment of these on a sc, ie. size and offsets and tire sizes too. pictures will help. I like those aggressive stagger flash look! dont give me wrong, i did my research, I pretty much read through the most of the fitment threads out there, but my questions is only for CR Kai's in particular.

thanks guys!!

No such thing as a best fitment. Whatever you think is the best fitment is, well, the best

it doesnt really matter on a particular wheel as size and offset is all the same. problem is work has only certain offsets with certain widths you can choose from. how ever you want it to fit is up to you. 18x9.5 +12 is what i would try on my sc

18x9.5 +12 will require fender modifications

If you want to keep it simple and hassle free go with the following setup-

17" - 18" between 7" - 8.5" wide with an +30 through +45 offset

Going more aggressive than that will result in fender scuffing; especially with worn or weak shocks.

18x8.5 +25F 18x9.5 +20R. Some pull, camber, and stretch in the front and pull, roll, camber, and stretch in the rear and you will be good to go like a Taco bell commercial.

The +12 might require a bit of work to get it to fit behind those rear fenders. Those rear overfenders from bings.ca might look pretty mean with those also.

the "best fitment" really just mean how much you're willing to spend on fender modification

I run the Work XD9's in the rear and it's lowered on Tein's.

A lip roll is mandatory for maximum clearance but I could have possibly gotten away with it but it would have been very close.

My tires are slightly stretch, 235 front 265 rear, if the tires were larger a roll would have definitely been needed.

I don't rub with multiple people in the car and cornering at speed.

Matt.

18x9.5 +20 will fit "best"(easiest + look decent) on a SC.

But, if you want to be cool, get the +12s and make them fit.

Werd.

I'm noticing a lot of you guys are really conservative with your wheel fitment in the Lexus world.
