Default Thinking of these wheels...

What do you guys think of these MMR H2's on my SC?

I love chrome so I would be getting them in chrome,

20 x 8.5 in front with 35mm offsets
20 x 9.5 in rear with 38mm offsets

What do you guys think?

how will these wheels fit? I don’t think they are going to be as aggressive as I'd like. Have you guys seen any SC's with these wheels on?

It is your car, so you can put whatever wheels you like on it.
Just make sure you buy those MRR from D2-AUTOSPORT where your pics come from.
I am sure they won't sell you a set of wheels with GS offsets you just posted.

I don’t think they have a choice, these wheels in the 20 inch size only come with these offsets... Or at least that’s what I thought. I searched around the internet and did some poking around and those are the only offsets I came up with. anyone know for sure?

these wheel offsets are for the GS. imho they are too conservative for the sc430

I like the design. I'm not a chrome type of guy but that's just me. There's no lip, thus making the spokes extend all the way to the edge of the wheel making the wheel appear bigger than it actually is. Post some pics when you get them.

!! I just realized what I did wrong....

When I was looking at you’re tire fitment guide I accidentally looked up the GS wheels,

So I need my fitments to be more like;

20" Difficulty
20x8.5 +18 20x10 +24 aggressive

that would be perfect. or if you want to avoid as much rubbing as possible, try

8.5 +20 and 10 +26, or
9 +26 and 10 +26

I do too, but the offsets are wayy off, the fronts would need a 15mm spacer and the rears a 10mm to sit flush. and I don’t want to put spacers on the car. I'd rather not Mickey mouse it

off to look for some more rims

yup. if you're going w/ aftermarket rims, it's preferred not to have the spacers and get the right offset fitment.

but im my case, i'm still on 18's and have to use the spaces so that it doesn't look to awkward.

so far, the spacers have been solid and I haven't had any issues w/ them.
