You know some spacers for the stock wheels to get a good offset might look really cool on this car- certainly something different.

Definitely do the relocation as soon as possible. I just did mine since I lowered my car last week. How much did the Megans cost you if you don't mind me asking? I was looking for a set but couldn't find any cheaply for the SC.

Looking good man

It's easy for people to sit here and tell you to throw on some wheels and everything else, little to people understand that a lot of people have a budget to follow that doesn't allow for a set of 19's

I'm installing some Megans tonight on my car. Hope you are enjoying them.
Regards,
Jonny

Nothing like popping the mod cherry.

Drop looks good! The before and after really are something else....

Good luck with the hard part...pulling the trigger on 'just the right' wheels. But your SC's look will go from "Hey, neato.." to "Holy shyte *****!" in as fast as it takes to tighten your new lug nuts.

The drop looks good even on stock wheels. I like to see people do suspension first. You should get at least 25mm spacers all around if you don't plan on getting wheels soon.

I would just keep doing what you are doing and chose your wheels wisely. Keep in mind, get the correct offset for the LS400 BBK or TT brakes. Just a thought. I think black chrome would do it justice on some 19's! Thats my .02 cents.
