Default Help, need your opinion

okay nobody responded to my question in the wheel section so I figured to make a thread. I have these rx8 rims.

it is 18x8 +50 offset and I was wondering if it will look nice on my sc300 it looks like the z stock wheels and a little like the rx350 wheels
wondering what tires should I run.
please keep negative comments to yourself.

RX8 wheels have always had a very nice appeal and will look good on your SC.

HOWEVER, the fitment will be terrible! I highly suggest a set of +25mm spacers (minimum) to get it right.

Flush depends on your ride height as well.

You will need to test fit the rims at the ride height you desire then measure the distance to the fender to determine what size spacers you want.



225/40/18 wouldn't really be a stretch, if you want baller status stretch then get some 195 or 185.
