I agree with getting a kit on that car. Just meant the style and fitment of the wheels was good.

Seeing this years later, I am the owner and it is an origin lab kit molded on with 97+ bottom door filler molded in. Also, 20's do not ride badly at all, at least not with Eibach spring kit...

Hey All.
I'm Brian.
I just recently acquired this 96 SC4. Completely stock except for some suspension bits, wheels, and body kit. Its running staggered 20's and even though its got Tein CO's it scrubs like crazy on heavy dips in the road, and I am just not happy with them. I was gonna go with 18's that are like 10"wide in the rear and 8.5 front but seeing the pics here tells me I need 19's. I'll probably sell these 20's if anyone wants to inquire. No idea on a timeline or price but j/s.
Anyways this is my SC. I'm in Tampa Fl area and I or my son will be driving it. A lot.

I don't see and specs as far as offsets or anything. Mine are 20x10 and 20x8.5 and I'm much lower than that and I don't scrub at all. Fender are just rolled, yours looks flaired so I'm guessing you must have low offsets. I have seen 20x11's with just a roll tuck as well.

That's cause I don't know any specs on the wheels. I cant even find them online. I've been told they are replicas of a 370Z wheel but I cant confirm that either. I've only had the car for about 2 weeks and haven't even taken it home. It stays at my work for now.

Ok, It will be cast inside spokes or in some cases a sticker in the barrel. Someone just put on wheels with bad fitment even though the fitment doesn't look very crazy. Weird they are scrubbing at stock height like that. I can't imagine

I have the coilovers dialed up pretty high for the previous owner,(I'm a Tech and the only one whos ever worked on the car in last 6 years.) because the wheels were scrubbing on the front. also the previous owner didn't like the COs so stiff so he had them dialed in at a soft rate of bound/rebound. thus they scrubbed. It wasn't a good setup for the places he drove and what he wanted out of the ride quality. Then the ECM died and he had enough. So I picked it up. I'm gonna play with the setup and see what it feels like to me. I'm a lot more tolerant of a firm ride and there are no brick roads in my side of the world. lol
