+15 Offset All Around On '04 SC430?

[Qrtr2Eight]

First of all do you think a +15 offset all around will even fit? Is it will do you guys feel it will look extremely aggressive and give me the most lip possible? These wheels are going on a Silver '04 SC430. Thanks.

What wheel width?

[19psi]

we have to know the width of the wheel to figure out where it will sit in the wheelwell... offset is only part of the equation.

[Caoboy]

it's also dependent on the disk of the wheel too.

That should only affect face shape and the amount of lip.
Offset is measured from the mounting surface.

[Caoboy]

yes, and read his post buddy......he wants the most amount lip. that brings in other clearance issues with the disk setting.

Touche, I hadn't read that, my bad.

But having the most lip and having wheels that fit are two different things entirely.

Here's what another member, SC4300, said a while back:

"I tested fit a set of F: 19x8.5" +15 R: 19x9.5" +15 wheels before, but I couldn't do a full turn without both front tires rubbing the inner wheel well plus both rear wheels were at the edge of rubbing,too."

This is member bryan_exr's SC430 with 19x9, 19x10 offset is F:+16 R:+6.

AutoCouture suspension and no fender mods apparently.
I'm sure he could fill you in a lot better since it's his car, not mine :p

youll be fine with those offsets, 430's use similar offsets as 350z/g35

[sc4300]

F:8.5" +15 & R:9.5"+15 should be fine as long as you choose the correct brand of tires like Falken. will only rub on bumps. They are pretty close to my current setup.

F:9" +15 & R:10"+15 will rub for sure unless you run stretched tires. PM bryan_exr for the proper tire sizes you should use. I believe those offsets are exactly what he is running now.

I was planning on running a 19x10 in the rear and a 19x9 in the front. Thanks SC4300, I will pm him and see what he has to say. Thanks.

ok now all you have to do just pick the right tires now.

Thanks Bryan, what tire sizes do you run/would you recommend? Do you get any rubbing?

[fiddynut]

I keep seeing the term "disk" what does it mean?

Thanks

Short answer - disk alters distance from back of spokes/face to mounting surface. high disk has more brake clearance but less lip than a low disk wheel with otherwise identical specs.

UPDATE:
Small change in plans....due to coming across a great deal I think I am going to go with a 20" setup instead. Please give me some input/feedback on this setup;
Front: 20x8.5 with +20 offset
Rear: 20x10 with +20 offset

First off, do you think this will be a pretty nice setup on my SC430?

Secondly what tire size would you recommend for these wheels. Thanks for any help.

[Qrtr2Eight]

Here is what I am thinking for tire size so please let me know if you feel it is ok.

Front: 255/40R20
Rear: 275/35R20

[sc4300]

245/30/20 and 275/25/20 if you want them to be within stock specs.
245/35/20 and 275/30/20 if you need more ride comfort.

255/40/20 and 275/35/20.....
Please buy a set of coilovers to raise you car. Yes you heard me right..RAISE your car,so they won't rub especially in the front.
And you also need BBK in the front and the rear to stop your car properly.

Thanks SC4300, I am swapping out my Tein H-Tech for the CS very soon. Big brakes will be within 6 months also.
