Will these 19" wheels work on a SC?

Sound okay...

I think they will fit as is....

You may at worst need a 5mm front spacer....not difficult to get.

I say get them...they will look killer.

pcmw, what will the 5mm spacer do? move it inwards towards the wheel well or outwards?

If you ADD spacers...it would HAVE TO move it out.... unless you got those 'special' metal disintegrating 5mm un-spacers... just kidding

Here is a brief explanation of the offset...

Offset is the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the wheel face where it bolts up to the brake rotor.....

This picture from Tirerack is a good one....


So right now that front wheel at 19x9 has a centerline of 4.5" + offset of 1.73" (43mm). So that means that your rim will stick INWARD from the rotor a total of 6.23" leaving 2.77" from the rotor to the outside edge of the wheel.

This means that it is WAY tucked under the fender. This is not bad as long as it doesnt hit the suspension. Your fender is about 3" from the rotor. Meaning you have about .23" of tuck. With a 5 or 10mm spacer...that distance would be reduced and you would add that much more to the clearance inside.

I hope all of this helps...
