Default OZ Saturn 18x8.5 and 18x10

Hey guys,

I was looking at previous posts and think these will fit okay. I just want some opinions. I am thinking of going the Eibach 1"/Tokiko route and then purchase some 18x8.5 (+37mm) and 18x10 (+41mm) OZ Saturn Plus wheels. Along with those wheels, I plan on getting some 275/40/18's (rear) and 245/40/18's (front). Do you think this will look half-way decent?

Got a pic of the rims?

The 18" size wheel is never a failure on a Soarer/SC. To me it's the best combination of looks, plus keeping a sane price on tyres hahah.

Thanks for the insight Soarer_25GTT. Nice car by the way !! You Aussie's have some sweet rides. And yes....a "SANE" price is always a good thing . Here is a pic of the wheels:



Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
LiveSC400

Thanks bro! Right now it's filthy because it's been raining non stop here but yeah it still looks beautiful even in its filthy state, lead me to buy one in the first place! Hehehe...

I reckon those wheels would look pretty nice in the guards of your SC, very simple looking... all you'll need is a drop!

They look like MSW wheels back in the day. The wheels should look good w/ the drop. Have almost the same size but 18x9 in the front w/ same tire size and they fit great.

Thanks for the info guys. I am planning to drop the car about 1" all around with some Eibach's and Tokikos shocks/struts. I know if I go any further, I will probably have to readjust the camber. Do you think and inch drop would be sufficient? I remembered Clint's old SC300TT and that's actually why I considered them. They looked really good on his old car so I figured they'd look good on mine.

Thanks again,
LiveSC400

I think you need to run a thinner tire for the back, 275/40's will be too bubbly...try 275/35 and you'll be set...
