A small piece of information is missing from your wheel description but from what I can see so far you are going to need some work to make them fit. I dont know if you're up for it. The type of work Im talking about is rerouting the wiring looms underneath both the front fenders so the tires dont chew them up. Rolling and pulling all your fenders depending on what offset and tire size you plan on running.

I would say 11.5 is too big in the back. Without any mods I don't think you can put on rims wider than 10 without issues.

I have 19x10 and 19x11 ccw's with a 265 in front and 305 out back...i have my fenders rolled and they fit fine with coilovers in the back (otherwise will rub stock shocks) and you need rolled fenders

you should be fine depending on the offsets

I've got :
Front: 245-35-19x9
Rear: 285-35-19x10.5

I had to remove these plastic thing, roll the fenders and bang on the inside and its perfect. But it rubbed like crazy before that.

now you know they fit on your sc, the first 2 pics looks like he rolled the fenders but looks like the rear lip isnt even rolled up in the last pic, maybe older photo? you probably want to roll the lips flat as it looks like it would rub if your going to run your car lower than the guys one

This thread is completely useless without offsets. Please provide them for proper information.

okay heres the deal.

the SC fits wheels like a hooker fits a d*ck. just about any size fits without issues.

i have 18x10+22 in the front. fits perfect. i even ran a 255/35/18 for a while with no rubbing issues. that was with a mild roll.

the rear will fit no problem with a 255 tire and camber. do a full roll on the rear fenders. maybe a light pull and youre set to go.

this is very easy to do if you have some coilovers.

this is my fronts:


yours will be exactly the same.

this is my rears:


yours will stick out an extra 12mm. all you need is same size tires as me, 245/40. or a bit more fender roll. mine are not rolled that extensively at all and never rub.

the only thing i would potentially worry about is the inside of the rear wheel hitting the coilover.

enjoy the wheels.
