AWJ Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 They will fit. but those offsets are high. SC3/4 runs +50 oem. They might rub somewhere and the handling will be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I have a buddy that is running 18x9 +45 all around on his 92 sc400. The front is more aggressive than your 18x8 +35 so you should be OK in the front. It is less aggressive in the rear but the rear can take more so you should be OK too. I also know of someone who has run 18x9.5 +45 which is similar to 18x9 +39. This is pretty close (4mm) to your setup too. The offsets on the wheels in question will actually push them out more towards the fender than OEM. I think AWJ is concerned about fender rub. If that's the case, adding a spacer will only make it worse. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 yep +45 is fine. spacers on +35 will be bad with this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
