Default What cars have stock 18" wheel fitment that is perfect (aggressive)on an SC?

Hi,
What cars have stock wheel fitment that is perfect (aggressive)on an SC? Basically i am looking for a few cars to enter/save into Tire Rack, ebay, etc. instead of 95 SC400. None of us use those stock sizes so it's useless.

What cars stock wheel fitment fit REALLY NICELY on an SC? It would help when buying wheels and tires. Searching Supra TT is 1 step better, but I want 18s'.

So far i found the Mitsubishi VR4/Stealth TT to have pretty decent specs for our cars but i don't know this stuff well yet. What cars have an even better size? Like wide as possible without rubbing and best offset without issues?

Probably 350z/370z/G35/G37, and anything else RWD newer Nissan model etc

Maybe even look at the GTR. Either way, I wouldn't look at Tire Rack as a good source for wheel fitment. There is a thread for this.

I LIVE on that thread these days. I was looking on tire rack just to shop for inexpensive wheels and tires. I'll look up the offset for your suggestions. Thank you.

if you want cheap wheels that have agressive fitment look into XXR's. nlmotoring.com is a good source

I just picked up some 18's off 2005 G35. They look pretty good.

That XXR line is quite nice. I have been looking at Rota as well. The prices are pretty good at nlmotoring.com. Thank You

350z TRACK wheels really look good on a SC. They are made by Rays, 18", forged and super light. Just good luck finding a nice set at a decent price. Fabulous wheel.

Depends on the offsets and how aggressive you want to run. 350Z/G35's can run very low offsets, like +10 to +15mm on wide wheels. We've got a lot of guys running 20x10.5" with +15mm all around. To run that low of an offset on an SC would require a lot of tire stretching and fender work...

A moderate offset for these cars will range in the +20 to +35mm range for proper fitment. Here's a forum member's ride, BSanders22, and while they're 19's, you can get an idea of how they sit in the fenders. Fronts are 8.5" wide with a +28mm offset and rears are 10" wide with a +33mm offset. Hope that helps!

370z has the most agressive offset on the rear. G35 and 350Z is pretty weak on offset.
