SC430 Aggressive Offsets

Hey guys,

I am ordering the Trafficstar RTS in 20's polish in the end of this week. Please let me know if my offsets would be aggressive enough to achieve that vip style look.

20x9 +18 offset (65mm lip)
20x11+23 offset (105mm lip)

Front would be 235/35/20 and the rear would be 285/30/20. I would do 275's or less ONLY if I have smooth roads..which I do not .

Thanks

I have installed Zeal Zi Coilovers. I am going to slam it, front and rear no finger gaps. I want to see if these offsets are aggressive enough for that vip 'look'

I drove on my GS with lsport bodykit and front and rear tucking so I learned how to drive relatively good on lowered cars , especially some of the worst streets and highways in the us.

stretch 265's on the 11's and be careful...if you're slamming it, pushing the offsets and tire widths, you're gonna have to do some fender work...to minimize fenderwork go lower tire width.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah if it wasn't for horrible roads I would be 255's on 11's. :) I don't want to but HAVE to get atleast "somewhat" near normal in tire sizing. 285's was my approach on 11's. Only if the roads were better.

My question also is with fender work, HOW MUCH fender work is required to make 285's on 11's work when rolling slammed. Can any local mechanic with experience on cars mod fenders relatively easy in general NOT mechanics who deal strictly with modified cars?

Since I don't think there are too many SC430's VIP-styled members on here, atleast not that I have researched, it would be hard for me to find this answer.

so you decide to run 285 now?
fender work is definitely a loyal pain in the butt on this car, you have to own this car to know that fact. haha

what wheels are you running now? what specs?
you can use spacers to simulate the new offsets and check how much pain you'll get. :p
