Default Seeing as how no one answers on the wheel fitment sticky...

The setup I currently have planned for my SC goes like:

18x9.5 23 Offset in front
18x9.5 15 Offset in rear

Will 245/40 tires go well with a 9.5" wide rim? I think that's what I had in mind.

How flush will these be? Will I have to roll fenders? My idea is to not roll fenders.

You think the stretch will be ok? Not too big a compromise on ride quality. I don't like some of the look of stretched wheels sometimes...

I run 18x9.5 +13 all around with 225/40 up front and 245/40 in the rear. I had to roll all four corners flat, and pull the rear slightly.



You'll probably have to roll/pull all around for that big of a tire up front.

***Official Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide for SC300/SC400***

If you are looking for a new set of wheels for your sc300 or sc400, and you have any questions like “will these fit”, please read this thread. It seems as if everyday, or every other day, there are new threads being posted with these questions. So please take the time to educate yourself with wheel and tire fitment. A lot of topics will be discussed that all play a role in wheel fitment… bolt patterns, offsets, camber, fender modifications, widths, diameters, disk setup, and tire sizes.

Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 – When searching for your new set of wheels, make sure it has this bolt pattern. Most Lexus (Toyota), Infiniti (Nissan), and Acura (Honda) and other Japanese cars use this bolt pattern. The only way you can mount wheels that were made for a car with a different bolt pattern, i.e. BMW or VW, is using adapters. However, 5x114.3 is very popular and you shouldn’t have trouble finding a set of wheels you like with this bolt pattern.

Offsets: The stock offset is +50mm. When stock wheels are mounted to our cars, they appear to be “sunken” (tucked into the fender). Too low of an offset will make a wheel stick out, passed the fender.Many people choose to go with a lower offset, or run spacers, so the wheels will not appear to be sunken, and come to the edge of the fender, for a more aggressive/clean look.

you can go as low as +38 on a 10” wide wheel in the rear without any fender modifications and as low as +22 on a 10” wide wheel with your fenders rolled. your tire size plays a big role here.
