I might go lower witht he next set of tires if they fit smaller, but the 20x10.5 in this offset with the wide fitting 285/30/20 Yokohama's rub over bumps. I already trimmed the inner fender plastic also. I am torn I like the look of the fat tire on the back but I like also like it sitting low, I guess I have to deal with some rubbing. With a full tank of gas in person it sits great that is how I set the height also. I also have the rear shocks at the firmest setting which helps out with the rubbing.

Car looks great. Red is a little used color on these cars so it is always good to see it.

Thumbs up Budget Cost for wheels and tires?

98LexSc400,
Really nice job with the wheels and your SC. My wife drives our 2002 SC Red/Ecru and we would love to change to some nice wheels/tires as soon as the Pirellis wear out. Can you give me a budget $$ to plan on spending?

Thanks

You can copy my setup from discounttiredirect.com the wheels and tires mounted balanced and shipped to you would be around $2700.00. Actually they make a few styles that look nice so you don't have to copy exactly.

If you go lower you'll have to be more careful how you drive. I think it looks great as is. Good job.

I agree. I think it will look a lot better if you lower it a little more.

I can lower it more for pictures and shows. But 60 miles a day any lower just doesn't work. The roads I have to go over are half good and half torn up. And even with -2 deg. camber and trimming I still rub here and there. It just won't work and I don't plan on modifying fenders or changing wheels to have it sit any lower.

Sorry for the bump but that looks fantastic. Vossen and the SC 430 are a great match! Hopefully more to come with Vossen and the SC!
