Reggiek - You can ask me questions so long as it's not how you can put 22'z on your ES250 or where to get the best price on some *****hole wheels or anything of that nature.

how'd you pull that off? on a 255/35/18 i was probably 3mm from touching the stock inner fenders with the sidewall of my tires. I have -1 degree camber and I was running a +45 offset. I figured if I got a tire any wider, it would have rubbed for sure.

19's
Sorry I don't really know much about cars but am considering buying someones rimes. He has Advan Kruezers V 19x8 front with a +37 offset in the front and 19x9 +45 offset in the rears? Front tires are 225/35 and rear tires are 235/35. Is the offset good/right? It will go with Tein Flex's. thanks.

I went shoppin for wheels........ The Jackasses tryin to sell me wheels said NO LIP!!! & MUST BE A FLAT FWD WHEEL!!!!!!! So i was ****ty and showin them pic after pic of sc's with a fat lip wheel & they said "we cant guarentee they'll fit, more than likely theyll stick real far out of the fenders and look like im tryin to sport some hammers! So after countless wheel stores tryin to sell me PRIME 5 STARS & 15" MOTEGE's?? i finally found a set that had a small lip and looked ok. I think ive lost the "performance look" and gained the "Rap Star" look but i think with the VIS kit It'll come back to life... anyone know if i can drop it with these wheels??? there close to rubbin.....

to answer your questions
too bad...should have come here first, we would tell you where to go and how to get that lip.
Its never too late though
Depending on your offset and width/diameter you should be able to achieve a decent drop.
You gave us no specs, so dunno how low you can go.
You should check the Tire Rack forum here and see the stickied post at the top, or do a search as this has been discussed many times. I KNOW I have posted this information at least 20 times in the last month or so.
Do an advance search for offset, and legendary as the username
Another resource = www.intellexual.net
Best wishes

VIS kit? No, with that you're going to get the "I really didn't know what the ***** I was doing" look.... VIS is the piece of ***** body kit. Period.
Ditch the wheels (eBay). Put your stock wheels back on. Never go back to that wheel shop. Come back here with the amount of money you can spend....and in the mean time, do a search and read the thread regarding putting 20's on the SC. There are some issues with it that you might not want to live with.
Don't take it personally but your SC is a eyesore. Horrible wheels and it looks like a 4x4. Help us help you help your SC.
