Would I be able to go with 19x8.5 all the way around?

No problem w/ 19x8.5 all around, you can even go wider if you get the correct offset. Stock offset is +50, for an 8.5" wheel there's plenty of room for error, basically a 38-up will be fine for that width, but try to get as close to the stock offset as possible, trust me.

I love the deep dish look... the only problem with 19s is that you're going to spend a bundle on tires.

I'd go with 18s if I were you. Tire selection is better and less costly.

...and I'd get 18x9 or 18x10 if it fits...

Yeah but 19's look sooo much better! Worth the extra cost in tires in my opinion. Din, I love the wheel design! You know they are Lowenhart BR5 knock-offs right? Zenetti makes a similar one called the "Vega".

I guess it all depends on the tires that you're buying.

19s dramatically decrease your choices in tires.

For instance on my Supra I'm running 295/30ZR18s on the rears, and I have three or four choices.

With 19s I only have one choice.

That's a big deal if you want to get the same tire setup on front and rear and you need different sizes (like the Supra).

So sometimes it's not just about how phat they look, but whether you can get them to fit properly under your car...

18s look plenty phat to me. Check http://communities.msn.com/quicks198...oto&PhotoID=62 to see what I mean

Default honestly,

Flared out 5 spokes that get wider towards the rim look really ghetto on the SC.

You gotta stick to classick 5 spoke that's uniform, or 6 spoke.
Multispoke past 6 even looks bad.

Honestly, I'd go w/HRE, or Lowenhardt or evolution.

Try to stay away from the widening spokes.

19s are fine.

PErsonaly, I'd do 18x8.5 up fron and 19X10 in the back.
That is a SICK set up.

Okay I took the liberty of photochopping the wheels onto this black SC just out of curiousity. They are 20s, but they look amazingly good on the SC I think...

Default can u photochop another wheel too?

Can you do another photochop job?

I was wondering how these RH evolution wheels would look on the SC.

They were my next choice in wheel.

http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheels_rhe.asp

pick the M7000s.

If you have time,
could you also do these HRE's?

http://www.hrewheels.com/Car/540Series/index.htm

pick the 547s

I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

Hehe, that so? I don't know who half these SC pics are from, but I'm always saving and archieving them (I have a huge folder of SC pics). I even have some of you car saved on my computer Lex Luthor. Hope you people don't mind me using them from time to time, I just thought the angle on the car was perfect and the black color matches up with the wheel too.

Would you like them on *your* specific car, or just any random SC pic? Give me a pic of your car from a good angle and I'll see what I can do, otherwise I'll just work on something from my computer.

Here's the M7000s, the rears look like 20s, sorry. I'll do the HREs later on tonight. I actually had a pic of an SC with 547s on them, but I think I trashed it a while back
