Great content for us sc owners
Glad you're liking it!
Great way to add new/usable content on KZhead ! Thanks bro
You're welcome!
Definitely a very informative video, I got told 17x9.5 +15s wouldn’t fit and ordered the wheels anyways but only wish I had come across this video sooner and gone with 18s. Plus that website at the end is amazing, keep it up great vid 🤙🤙
Surprise you didn't use Fitment Industries! Thank you for your support :)
Even though I have new suspension, I really like the Sidewall. My current spec is 19x9 +21F(245/40/19) and 19x9 +17 R (235/40/19) so close to being aggressive. my tire setup may look crazy, but even on the roughest roads, it handles them well. Thanks For showing this so others have an idea. The various wheels look really cool. but I would rebuild to be less agressive not to damage / pull the body. Great video Jon!
That's understandable, thank you for the comment 👌🏼
LOVE the WORK WHEELS :)
My stock fenders tucked 245/40r18 in rear, going for wider setup 18x11.5 on 265/35r18 with 50mm overs and 225/40r18 on 18x10.5 rolled front fenders
The goat for this ongggg
I gotchu mang
20s with a drop and a tire stretch looks really good plus yiu dont have to worry about destroying bumper lip ect
But you got the SC looking more like a SUV
@@JonathanMai not even I’m running 20s
sick looks, nice car and quality videi
thanks for watching :)
I was thinking of going from a 18 too a 17 but honestly after watching this vid I think i might just try out a smaller tire
I have SSR Vienna Courage on my '95 SC 400. Rear 19x10, +38, 275/30, Front 19x9 +38, 245/35. 1" Tanabe lowering springs and struts. Rear fenders shaved. Fronts untouched. Rides nearly the same as stock
Funny timing considering ive been combing through the clublexus fitment guides these past few weeks.
Good little video for you to consider I hope.
The post on club lexus was a holy land. I also has 20s on mine at one time.
White wheels are classy af bro
Those Works looked the best imo
The only set I have left.
Quality content 👍🏽
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
good video! Trying ot figure out what to do with my '99 SC. I currently have 245/45 R18's all the way around but am debating on going smaller, or even stock.
Depends on how you want to look yk. 245/40 at the minimum if you want to look better imo. Or even 245/35
Congrat. Its a great video. Im thinking to buy a 11x18" ET15 5x114 wheel as replacing rear wheel. what do you think? what needed to do for it?
Those are pretty aggressive for stock body, you will fs need to roll/cut your fenders, and then pull them slightly depending on what your fitment goals are.
Ayo jacking your car up from the MIDDLE of the sill??! That's wild man
Great video... Thanks! Also, didn't know you could jack up the car in the middle to lift both front & back on one side. Is that the norm, or just a risky move?
It's not normal, I have a rubber pad with slits and put the welds in between so they don't mess them up. So far so good...
I was tucked on 20s had to shave the rears n fronts no rolled fenders 😅
SO MANY WHEELS OMG
More to come 😂
@@JonathanMai omg😭
I have 20" on my sc300 no problems,no rubbing and full terms
MB Battles is the best option
i love my 16s
Hi, i also have a SC 400, would a 18x10.5 +25 fit? Or do i need a spacer?
20x11 35 offset slight role in rear
Nice! Are you on regular bc coils or extreme low?
Regular BC's
Are you running kbd rear bumper?
Man I want my sc to look that good but I just can’t be static like that I drive too cray u feel?? Have fully adjustable Megan suspension, all stiff bushings, teins set to be soft on sparco 18x8 no stagger can’t remember what tires but summer comp. I love the adjustability and knowing that I coouuullllld go this route is cool but I just couldn’t sacrifice what drivability I have left. Would bags be the compromise I’m looking for u think?
Coilovers I would say is better than bags in terms of performance. So I would stay with coilovers since you have adjustable suspension you have. I look low, but I'm not that low in my opinion in this video.
@@JonathanMai heard. Bags are so much $$ anyways, I’ll lean towards performance for this car at least Ty. Let me ask you question - any idea if this part/product exists - just a thin rubber spacer for inbetween top hat and body? I swear the oem suspension had that but I cannot find where tf they went. I believe it’s called an insulator but can’t rly find anything online
@@dackbowland1876 Not totally sure, you can make some out of whatever material you can find though.
@@JonathanMai true I’ll figure it out. Thanks homie, clean sc glad I found u on here lol.
@@JonathanMai just thought I’d let u know I found the exact thing I was saying but not rubber - ‘polyurethane top plate spacer’ it’s usually for ppl who are doing lifts or the opposite kind of suspension tuning as going low lol but I can still be slammed with 1/4 spacers on top if I wanted.
gonna miss the shokis:(
Me too :(
Wey, sabes que turbo le quedaría chido al sc300?, quiero ponerle entre 500 y 600 hp, ya se que fuel pump y que inyectors ponerle, solo no se que turbo sea bueno para ese 2jz
500 es suficiente bro, 600 es mucho pa las calles. para el turbo, depende con lo que quieras.
Brooo where did you find those Various TR5 I can’t find them ANYWHERE
Pretty rare, found them on Marketplace for like 1k haha
I js got some 18x9x5 rims what tire size would you recommend that wouldn’t need a fender roll and if need spacer what type thank you
+22
I don't think 245/40/19 would give that suv look? Maybe 245/45 or 255/40. I have a GS since fresh outta high school, I just bought my first SC it's so clean. I think 19s sit the best on SC LS GS cars. I think I'll put my 18s I got on my GS onto my SC and get some 19s for my GS.
Take it with a grain of salt of course.
Where do you jack your car. I have a sc400 and can’t find the correct spot to jack the car up.
By the pinch welds
Hey y’all I have a question! so I ordered some RPF1 for my sc300 and I have the Supra break kit ready but not installed and I got too happy and ordered the wheels too but I’m not sure if I messed up and got the wrong specs… I got 5x114.3 9.5 38 for the front and 5x114.3 10.5 15 for the back do you think I got the right dimensions for Supra break calipers to clear or be fine?..
The rears are fine, you are probably going to need to run a spacer for the front.
@@JonathanMai thank you! And why a spacer for the front? 🤔
@@JonathanMai ohhh you meant so it can be flush with my fender
@@GarageBuiltStatus No, in your case it would be to clear your front Supra calipers because those are bigger.
On the first wheel what’s the +30 is that the off set?
Yes
@@JonathanMai thanks
I don't know about you but I had 20 inch rims on my 400 and they and I was running a 295 30 on a 10.5
To each their own! Everyone is different
fxck do you make me miss my sc. Owned her for 6 months then the alternator shorted caught fire with the powersteering fluid :( soon enough i'll buy another 🤘
Get one before they turn to 240's
Is there any way it's gonna look good if you dont cut your fenders?
I would say no, because you're spending money on wheels and tires and it's still not flush, to each their own though
@@JonathanMai I rather have my fenders not cut
yeah it'll look good
@@nostalgic_pokemon_memories I mean cutting quarter panels is scary, so do what you want bro :)
@@JonathanMai it also devalues the car long term and i care more about the car then a look. I got a 1996 sc300 factory 5 speed with 107k miles all orginal garage kept its whole life its super mint and i want to keep it that way as long as i can :)
How much camber are you running?
No camber adjustment from stock.
What body kit do you have
SC300 one :), SC400 won't fit
Where’d u buy those spacers from???
Mostly eBay haha
@@JonathanMai link??? And how’s it holding up? (I daily my sc)
@@jomarloflores14 Use the eBay feature where it sorts it specifically for the SC bro
the 19s look way better
what is this body kit
Check out my other videos.
What body kit is this?
Watch my old videos.
Im on 20s on mine
If you're happy with that bro haha, then rock with that
🫡
If you want a terrible ride quality go bigger and if you want to literally cripple your car then lower it. If you ever got in to a fantasy movie style high speed chase in this car you’d blow your spoiler kit to bits. Unless you’re on a perfectly smooth racetrack this car has been hobbled. I wonder why police never lower their cars or put low profile tyres on them? Because they have to ACTUALLY go fast on real roads.
Mine is lowered 1" and on 19's. 275/30 rear, 245/35 front. The ride difference from stock is barely noticeable. I don't have a body kit.
no need to space the wheel so far!
Yeah for sure. I'm just so used to not liking the sunken look that I always space it out to my liking.
😂 20s go great on a SC.
I’m rocking 20s and they don’t look big
Send me pics on IG
Are you even paying attention to where you're jacking the car up? Haha
Pinch welds are already messed up, plus I use a rubber piece to not have it metal to metal. 🤷♀️
i have staggered 20s on my SC and they absolutely belong on this car.. so your opinion is not valid.
Everyone has different tastes.
@@JonathanMai Exactly. So 20s are just as viable as 'little' wheels and look just as appealing to many people as well. So, saying they don't belong or have any place on the SC isn't valid. The fact is, you just don't like them.. so say that.
sell me your old bumper😓
Too late, I sold everything
why do you guys care so much about "flush" and not proformance?
You can have the flush look for more than just wheels, it can be with the tire too. Also, not everyone cares about performance.
when you start flaring the fenders and chipping the paint you cannot go back and just looks trashy and cheap to me. its like all the money goes into the wheels and nothing els... its a very immature way of modding a car.@@JonathanMai
I see it as, why buy stock spec expensive wheels and tires for it to look stock still. You need to roll your fenders imo to make them fit more aggressively. To each their own. @@wotceseriescollector
you buy wheels that fit on the car so you dont have to roll fenders and fuck the car up. it loses value long term when you do that. these are not throw away cars they should be something you take pride in and want it to last longer then you.@@JonathanMai
i understand doing it to a pos car but the sc was the top car of its time. its value back then would be what a lc500 cost now.@@JonathanMai
