I love those wheels. I just picked up a stock 1995 SC300 a day ago, and I'm looking to upgrade the wheels/tires since it needs tires anyway. What is the size/offset of those wheels?
Thanks!
Thanks!

New to the Lexus Club
Hello everyone, After a random chain of events I have acquired my first Lexus. It is a 2000 SC300, after doing some research on the vehicle ran across this forum. I have almost 8 years of dealership experience with Honda/Acura but very little with Toyota/Lexus having never owned the product. I have seen that pictures are the best way to satisfy everyone on this forum and will be posting pictures soon.

Hello my name is Cody I have had my green Lexus Sc400 for a year now. Shes in rough shape the previous owner wasn't exactly a model citizen It's all dented and scratched up the interior is rough I would post a picture but it'd be pretty embarrassing. Runs really nice though mechanically its pretty much perfect. I want to do a complete rebuild, so if any one sees my threads it would be appreciated if they posted their opinion.

Good evening everyone! The name is Maxx and I'm(as you can tell)new to the forums. I've been kinda lurking around for the past month as a unregistered user, just gaining bits and pieces of information used in my purchase.
AND NOW! WITH OUT FURTHER NOTICE!
Here is my new-to-me, 1992 Lexus SC300...Wait for it... 5speed!!!!!!!
I am the third owner of this rough around the edges beauty. It currently has 201,XXX on the clock
And all of the main things work and have been replaced(I.e. Cooling system, belts, suspension, etc)
Air conditioning, heat, heated seats, radio, speakers, gauges, lighting, etc all work. The only things that don't work are CD changer tape deck but those can be easily fixed with aftermarket

New Member and New Lexus Owner :)
Hello, My name is Gail and I have recently purchased my first Lexus. I have been a Mercedes owner forever but have been turned My son has been trying to get me to change for a few years now. He helped me find my SC and I am thoroughly enjoying the car. She drives beautifully but I can't seem to find a place to really run her like she needs It's like holding back wild horses!!

Enjoy it man.

Hey everyone I'm Nol. Just bought a really nice dark green 92 SC300 and I'm in love with it. No rust or rot. A few little issues but a near perfect interior! Something that's pretty uncommon where I'm from. I've been a previous member on here before but that was about 6 maybe even 7 years ago, but I wasn't a Lexus owner then. My car has a slight valve cover leak, and few other minor issues. The trunk won't stay up on its own lol Not too worried about that though. I just ordered about $500 in preventative maintenance parts (Timing belt, valve cover gasket kit, spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, struts, etc, a performance exhaust and some white LED lights for the cluster. One thing I noticed that I thought was odd about the car was that when I turn the headlights on, the little round lights come on, but when I turn the hi-beams on the outside bigger lights come on. Is this normal? I thought the hi-beams were the inside round ones and the running lights were the outside ones. A little confused about that. Anyway, just saying hi!

I'll keep this brief until I start the project thread.
Just bought a 1996 SC300 coupe with 97+ front/rear bumpers. 106k miles and it runs great, almost feel bad for what she has coming to it. The stock drivetrain will be getting yanked to be replaced with an LS3 and 6 speed trans combo, mildly cammed. Shooting for 480-500 rwhp and a loads of mid range torque. I'll likely end up using LS1Tech for most of the logistical research on the swap but I'll frequent this for aesthetics and what not. I'll be doing a double din swap this week and already found a very useful thread on creating the hybrid stock/Metra mounting brackets.
Does anyone have HRE or CCW's on their SC?
