20" is the biggest you'll want to go. Any bigger looks horrible. You'll also want to lower it for it to look good. So plan on also buying coilovers or lowering springs. Coilovers are more expensive but give you much better handling and are adjustable so you can get the perfect height.

OMG the wheels look great on your car! it's more flush at stock height which makes the wheel look a lot nicer then it was on mine.

redliner you could have a body shop easily clear it for you. you can get it taped around the edges to paint on the reflectors.

i believe he is at stock height. 20" wheels fill in that stock height gap. those wheels were specifically made for the sc430 size wise

hmm actually maybe he is a bit lowered?? could be the dark pictures playing with our minds now lol tire size plays a good role in it too
