Anyone know how big you can go with rims on a 99 sc1?

 

Rjion does

 

You can run 19's but 17's look better, weigh less, and cost less.

 

oh, and so does sw2cam, of course

 

19's look queer on S-Cars

 

Will 17's fit nicely though? or will it sacrifice some steering? what about power? noticeable loss?

 

17's are perfect when the proper tire is used.

stock tire size 195/60X15 a 205/45X17 or the slightly larger 215/45X17 work very well and are common sizes so prices should be in line.

If you open the link below and go to the last 5 pages or so you'll see pictures of my S-Cars with 17's on them. I used 215/45X17's most all the time. I did use 205/45X17's once

 

does offset matter? would a 40mm offset work?
