EYYYYY!!! Im a new member and have some questions...

Will 17x9 +42 fit my Scion tC?
What size tires would I need?
Scion tC bolt circle is 5/100 right?

And can someone explain to me what flushed and tucked fitment means?

Thanks fellas!

 

1.yes
2.225/40/17 would be good
3.yeah

tucked is tucked in the wheel well
flush is flush with the fender/body (you need to modify your fenders)

you will be tucked with those rims, but if you got 20mm front/25mm rear spacers, it would be pretty flush.

what look are you going after?

 

Oh man thanks for the info...
I would like it to be nice and even with the fenders/body but tucked wouldnt bother me

 

try to go with another offset if you dont wanna run spacer like a +25-30 for the back and +30-35 for the front you can get lower offsets then that but you need alot of fender work to not rub on ____ up your fenders. or you can run, what socal09tc said a 20mm spacer for the fron and about 25 for the back

 

Yeah I dont want any rubbing
So I need to get new fenders?? or what are you tryin to say

 

17x9 et 42 would be flush with meatier tires, actually i dont know but meatier tires ftw

 

you might have some inner rubbing up front on such a wide wheel with high offset on full lock (full turn left or right)

you wont be flush, but it will look much better then stock wheel fitment

 

I might just go with 17x8 +48

 

^thats worse....

 

Yeah listen to him/ I came from 18x8 with a 48et. Go with a 32offset.

 

So are you guys saying that running 17x8.5 +44 with 255 tires will most likely rub on the inner wall when turned left or right all the way ?

 

^only one way to find out, lol, i was just guessing

 

What kind of fender work r u talking about? Just rolling the fenders, remove those plastic clips, and cut the liner a little bit?

Cause I'm rubbing in the front right now, and I'm not sure what to do with the fender. For the rears, I'm just gonna roll it up!

 

my whole tc is stock, i have the springs that will drop it 2" but need to install em...

 

I dont think that drop on that wheel spec would be a prob. If it is then i think it would be alittle on the corner of the wheel liner. The side that runs with the edge of the fender.

 

im running 18x9's at +45 off set. All i have to say is it looks so cool, it makes my tC look beefy.

 

So if I get a 2 inch drop and get those 17x9 +42 rims it'll be fine? 235/45/17 tires...or 17x8 +48 and 215/45/17 tires...

 

let me guess, rotas?

 

The lower the number the further out they go when the number is postive (+40 is more tucked than +20). But I would suggest a a lower offset for sure. If you go 17x8 (which i have with a +42 offset which is tucked) run at least 225 cause 215 just dont seem wide enough to me. I think the 17x9 would be good but you should run a low offset to look good and you will probably need to roll the fenders with a 2" drop.

 

im running 18x9 +38 with 255/40/18 and no rub and absolute flush
