Talking What do you guys think!!!!!

I just got new wheels for my SC430.

What do you guys think?

Its Maya (Maido) GR5

19 x 9 (+26 offset) in the front with 255-35-19 Toyo T1-S

&

19 x 10.5 (+29 offset) in the rear with 275-35-19 Toyo T1-S

I got a very aggresive offset so just incase if I get sick of it or sell the Lexus, I could throw them on my 350Z.

I dealt w/ Dave at F1 MotorSports (North Hollywood) and after doing some calculation, he ordered the offset on the wheels so it will fit SC430, GS's , 350Z( my other car) /G35 and many other cars rear wheels imports.

There's no rubbing but my car is not lowered. I am not planning on lowering my car.

If I lower my car, I may have to roll the rear fender a little or maybe not. I am not sure. All I know is, as of right now, I have no rubbing issue at all.

the wheels are nice, congrats too bad you re not going to lower the car, it will look nice

the offset looks good, i dont' think it's that aggressive, you should be fine. at most you just need to shave the rear fender tab a bit

again congrats!

Nice choice of wheels on the SC. Although not lowered, I think the car looks good as is. Aggressiveness is key for you RWD guys (too bad I'm stuck in the FWD family)

I think they look "wicked pissa" I get the "you should lower it" all the time, but the roads I drive on suck so until I move to Florida or Cali or Even Arizona the height stays stock.

Definitely a good choice. You should lower it a little at least.

Well, another CL member sportin the GR5's. Ilove these wheels so much I'm thinking of getting a second set for my next car. Probably the silver but considering color matched.
Anyway...hot wheels for a hot car. Looks good.

Your name does sound Familiar.

I still use ssk0771. I use that name in all forums.

I know lots of people who were on TL forum end up getting 350z and now they are on 350Z forum alot.
