HI FI GUY

First of all I am proud to be a part of this forum, & thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Ok to my question I finally purchased some new wheels for my 05 SC as mentioned above they are Lowenhart Br5's 20x9 front(not sure the offset I will post that as soon as I find it again) & 20x10 rear(offset 43 I believe) I was going to buy some Yokohama S.drive tires 245/35/20's for the front & 275/30/20's rear or 285/30/20 if it will work. (I read Rominl's wheel guide which was very comprehensive by the way but he reccomended running 25 series tires. unless I read that wrong) Will this set up work without any rubbing? Will I have enough room to add some Stoptech or similar brake package. I want to lower it but dont want to destroy the ride quality. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

(I tried to upload a picture of the wheels but I couldnt pull it off I think the image was to big)

Shrink the pictures or have someone host them for you. Would love to see the final results. I am thinking about getting the same rims.

Welcome, seems you are off to a fast start.

A couple of things:

Tire choice is very important. I run 245 35 20 in front and 285 30 20 in the rear. I was running Dunlops and had a major rubbing issue. I changed to a Falken tire and now my rubbing issue is about gone. Rom mentions tires in his guide read that part again! Rubbing should not be an issue for you until you lower the car. I found lowering improved the ride quality, but you may feel differently.

I believe the stoptechs need a high disk wheel I don't know if the Br5s are high disk.

As long as you lower with coilovers then the ride should be just as good imo.

I would think you would have to be very very lucky if your wheels fit over a BBK without the need for a spacer.

HI FI GUY

Hey guys,

I confirmed my offsets. I have 37 front & 43 rear. I will have a picture of my wheels up shortly(I hope)

HI FI GUY

Here are the wheels

Nice, so you have not got them mounted yet? A good time to see if the bbk will fit.

Cool site.

Does anyone know why the SC430 link has the IS300 brake outline on it? Is it the same as the SC?

Thanks,
Mark

I would have thought the IS and SC where the same but with a different bracket. I know the SC is discontinued now, do they still make an IS kit?

Heres the Rotora chart as well but its not very helpful

The rims look great. Did you have them painted black, or is that how they came?

HI FI GUY

SCSAM,

They are powder coated black. The process took just over a month. I would not recomend trying to achieve this look by painting the wheel.

SC430Sam

If you do not mind my asking, how much does that generally run?

FunGuy

Your offsets should be in the 20's. Spacers will be the answer.

bt430

Just make sure if you order them they know it's for an SC430. I didn't have an issue.
