What's The Ideal Tire And Wheel Size For The Sc400?

[MarcosMarcusM]

Ok, so as some of you may know, I'm looking into buying this SC400 with 126K miles on it or so.

The stock wheels on this thing, though, are really beat up. Some don't have the center hub and other don't even have the factory wheels.

So what would be the ideal sized rim for this car as well as the tire size to go with it? I would REAALLY appreciate some insight! If you guys could link me to some tires and rims that you personally like I will to it to the heart.

My budget for the tires and rims are $1000.

Also, what's everyone experience with Tire Rack? How do they work?

EDIT: This is actually the style of wheel that I like.

18" Motegi Racing Tires

Would these fit? They look pretty nice.

I have 240/40-18's, they fill in the wheel well nicely, and handle nice, be sure you have someone who knows how to do a 4 wheel alignment with this size tire. I had my rear set go in no time do to a bad alignment.

I keep seeing this nice Motegi Racing wheels, but when TireRack does not give me the option of selecting 18" versions. I know they make them.

These are the wheels I'm interested in.

SP10 in Hyper Black

SX5 Silver w/ Machined Lip

In fact, TireRack has the 18" versions for sale, as well, but they do not come up on search when I input my car.

Does anyone know if they will fit? I'm a total rims and tires dummy...

Dont know if you have already got your rims but here is a pic of my 97 SC 400 with some 18 inch ADR rims...They fit perfectly but im going to be upgrading to some chrome 20inch offsets pretty soon...

Hope this helps
