I had supra chromies and honestly after a while i wasnt happy. The offsets are terrible..+50! they look Hella sunk even with decently big spacers. 295 on 9.5 is way too big IMO...i had 275 on them and it was just big enough not to look like baloons. Honestly it seems like you dont know which direction to go...either stretching tires or putting oversized tires on smaller wheel.

While I'd usually agree with everything you said on paper, but I'm hoping to eventually be able to put some power down. I talked to the guys at varrstoen and they said 265's were def doable in the rear of the 19x10.5's at +22 but I'm worried that the car will be useless until 3rd gear.

The stock TT wheels with some meaty drag radials just does it for me call me weird....

GRANTED, that's not an SC and is by far a much better looking car in my opinion but I think a similar look can be achieved on an SC and still retain the functionality behind the larger rear tires.

Sorry didn't mean to thread jack, just throwing idea's around....

That's low! How is the ride quality compared to your coilovers and to the stock suspension?
