[camrydanny]

hi
im lookingto get some sc430 rims(convertible) for my 2007 camry hybrid, the specs are 18 x 8 with a 50 offset from what ive read
anybody ever had these on a camry, just looking to see what it would be like
if i buy lexus rims, do i need to buy new lug nuts as well? i have alum rims on there now
thanks

i actually planned on doing this before. i think it would look good. what year sc430 would you be getting the wheels from?

im sure it would look good with the wheels from a newer sc430....i hated the wheels that came on the original ones tho....
yes they will fit....same fitament as the camry
and the lugnuts, if oem alloy lugnuts, will work for the lexus wheels as well

I think the 2007 SC430 rims look lot better than the 2003 versions.

18x8 +50 is going to be a tight fit.

+50 is going to be a really tight fit... you better stretch the tires

im just wondering, esp on a lexus, why is the offset so high?

The only other Lexus vehicle I know with high offsets is the IS300. BTW, S2000 have high offsets also.

hi
i was looking at new and old sc430 rims, also some early is300 17s, ive read only 50 for offset for that model, if somebody would like to correct, let me know, whu is that a tight offset, wheel will be more"in" the wheel, stock is 45, right?

hi
why would a offset only 5 higher be so tight,45 vs 50 offset
is it because of the width of the rim, 18 x 8?
is it there is more room out, like a lower offset, than room for a higher offset on this car? any drive a similar combo, any feedback would be great
thanks
