Default 1992 SC400 Rim Size options

Does anyone know what sizes the Lexus SC can take. I want to get 18s,19s, or 20s. What is the offset for each size, does it take 17X7 ? 18X8.5 etc.?? Thanks

Default BREYTON 19s

Thanks but I just have one specific question. I want Breyton Ispiration 19s. I know that they are made for BMWs but I have seen them fitted to lexus. Will these fit on a 1992 SC400? They are size 19 x 9 with a bolt circle of 5-120mm with a +48mm offset or a 6.89" backspace. ANYONE PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO GET BREYTON WORK ON LEXUS. I am going to have these chromed too, they are going to look great.
CONTACT ME ASAP.

You aren't by chance buying your Breytons from mahdi's classifieds ad are you? I would give that a second thought if I were you...

Once again, the lugs are 5x114.3, not 120.

Generally, the offsets need to be greater than 40, with 50 being the stock offset.

So pushy...

Why not just get wheels made for Lexuses? There are sooo many more JDM brands out there than Euro brands, and they all match better on Japanese carstoo. Unless you've come across a spectacuIar deal for the wheels already retrofitted for Lexus hubs (like $1000/set), what's the point in jocking them so hard? You'll probably end up spending more than it's worth making them work with your car. The Breyton Inspiration wheels are not all that great: one-piece cast aluminum--on the lower end of the wheel spectrum. Big deal. Besides that, it's kind of cheesy slapping AMG or AC Schnitzer wheels on a Lexus if you catch my drift. Breytons are no exception. Save yourself the trouble, you'll find it's even harder to resell them once you've bored them out for Lexuses only.
