Beautiful coupe man! Yeah go with the 2nd mesh type wheels, they look hott!
I can't really criticize your sc because I have one too , my wheels at 18x9" wide +24 offset and I have a 2" drop with a slight rub with 235/40/18s F abd 245/40/18s R if that helps.
Diggin your fogs! Are those jdm tyte?

I've always had something for this color since I saw it on the showroom floor in the early 90's.

Thanks! And honestly, I NEVER wanted a red car, and I wasn't big on the color when I got it. But after 4 months of ownership, I love it! Especially clean, I get more compliments and heads turning with the bright color, haha.

I also say go with the second wheel choice that would be pure sex!! I am running 255/35/18 in rear and I have 235/40/18 in front. I will be going with less negative camber to make it more flush looking since it needs an adjustment bad!!

Clean start to you ride!!!!
Thanks man! I had seen your pics, and was curious about your specs! Good to know, everything helps! You definitely have a perfect fitment. I know my rear quarter had some work done, so rolling/pulling is scaring me a little, so I'm probably going to dial the offset back and stick with about 30mm or so, I think...

I can only get those in a +40, and I do love them. with a drop, they'd look kinda VIP-ish and probably killer. heres one at stock height with 19x8.5"F/9.5"R +35mm for reference....

Thanks man, and nope, just +40 and +22. If they had 30-35, I'd get that, hands down. and I'm thinking 245/35/19s tire wise

Good to know! Rolled fenders? And thats why I was leaning towards the +40 (also offered in +22) because I could just throw a 5-10mm spacer and be done, just a mild semi-flush stance And honestly, the fogs are not that bold in person, at least not up close (they look dull) but they're super bright at night and from a distance.

It really does clean up and look great in person. DWP and this color are dead-heat for my favorite SC colors, haha

i have 8.5 +25 front and 10 +25 rear, dropped about 2.5 to 3 inches, and they sit perfect flush with the fenders. i think you'll reaaaaally regret getting those +40 offsets once you lower it man

As much as I'd rather not do spacers, I'd feel safer just adding them later. Besides, the only other offset is +20 or +22, and while I know thats not that extreme, I guess I'd rather a +30-35, just for a milder stance. I love the flush look, I'd rather not destroy my fenders for it, just to fit in, haha.

20 22 is perfect dude with that setup you won't need 300 dollar hub centric spacers just to compensate for the lack of offset trust me with the 20 22 offset all you'll have to do is roll the fenders it's not that aggressive it will set flushed

19x9.5" +22 all around on 245/35/19 with rolled fenders, then? and thats it? no pull? I really don't want to pull them, as mentioned, the car has had some body work done on the rear passenger quarter, so I don't want to get into excessive body/paint work....

I love that color on the 97+ SC's. Have you checked out Varrstoen wheels? They've got a set of wheels that look just like the second wheel you posted except with way better offsets.

no offense but like i said earlier those first wheels are ugly as hell even on the silver SC go with the second set......you can do 22 offset i have 245s front and 275 rear rolled in the rear no pull front is 22 offset rear is 25 offset

you can do 22+ with 255s in the rear with no roll defiantely can do it with 245s

I have seen the Varrstoens, I haven't looked into the pricing and such in a while, I'd have to look.

No offense taken, I didn't design the wheels, lol. I liked them because they were concave, and while they are no Vossen CV3s, the concave factor is similar. and I gotcha. Thanks for the specs, it helps to give me a good idea of what to expect

Thanks for the help, that makes me feel better, haha. I know you have to pay to play in this scene, and I'm just trying to double check everything before I drop the cash, haha
