| What are the biggest or widest wheels you have come across on a Soarer or Lexus SC from the US. Couple of examples I have found over the last few years. 22's or 24's on a Soarer from Japan. Just doesnt look right.

 SC from the US. 20 by 12 on the rear, not sure of the fronts.

| Different strokes for different folks Mike. I am not a big fan of over sized wheels but I do like the 20's on the white SC. |

| For a Soarer i personally think 19's are the best suited. Dont like 20's or up as although i like the white Soarer above the rotors look tiny and people who get 20's hardly ever upgrade them, just looks stupid in my opinion. 20's are only good if everything is in the same proportion and upgraded to be beffier. |

| Hmmm yep, there is a small bunch of sad folks that like this sort of stuff. I do like the white Soarer with the 20" deep dish wheels though. Very nice. |

| Even the Soarer with the 20's, look at the rotor size. Bigg rims plus small stock rotors are gay. Also the rear shot makes it evident that they rims are too big for the car and over kill. It look ok but 19's would have been a better choice. |
