Mr. O Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 hey im buying some adr formula 5 rims for my 1995 sc300 and there 17" by 7" and i was wonderinf what offset i need. Anything will help. thanx
SKperformance Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 i think the stock offset is -38 mm but with such a small rim width almost anything would work most sc's have a X8" or 9" rim width
rabidus Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 The stock wheels on my '95 SC300 are 16x6.5 with a 50mm offset...
AWJ Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 +40 to +45 rear. 17's shouldn't be a real problem unless they are too shallow. Stay away from anything under +35. 18's will rub at +35 and less. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...wtopic=1096&hl=
K9crew Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 My stock rims are 16 x 7JJ with 50mm offset. Most of the aftermarket rims that I've seen for our cars have a 38mm to 42mm offset. Is anyone running a staggered set up? I see that tirerack.com mentions an optional wider rim and tire for the back wheels ... sounds cool although tire/wheel rotation would no longer be practical since many performance tires are directional!! :D
Bandit Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 If the tires are the same width, you can still rotate front to rear, just not cross corner. Most of the wear is caused by the change in direct, camber and caster of the front steering. Unless, you like to do smoking burnouts or slides. But, you can cross corner rotate by unmounting the tires and remounting them to the appropriate wheel. Just some thoughts!
Mr. O Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 ok just got my rims. ADR formula 5 18x7.5 5 lug 114.3 heres a pic if you wanna see. adrwheels
K9crew Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Nice, clean looking rims ... what size tires are you going to put on them? What made you decide to buy 18" vs. 17"? I'm sure many of us here would love to see a picture of the rims on your car. :)
Mr. O Posted January 23, 2004 Author Posted January 23, 2004 well the 17s look good and all when their stock lexus rims from an is300 or somthing but if your gonna go somethine other than lexus it just looks so much better with the 18s. and im putting 225/40 - 18 on them yokohomas. and the pics will come when i get a digital camera haha no money for it now.
K9crew Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I just bought 18" x 8" rims for my LS and I'll probably get Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires in 245/45/18. :)
