i want to get the sportmax 006 for the scion tc they are 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear et35. will i have to roll the all the fenders or just the rear? does anyone have similar wheels that are the same size? if so, what did u have to do to make it work with the TC?

18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear. both are et35?

if thats the case, the rear fenders will have to be rolled. the fronts come rolled from the factory, so you never have to worry about that.
18x8.5 et35 for the front is no problem.
18x9.5 et35 for the rear will look good but you must: roll the fenders, stretch the tires (235/40/18 ), and not carry much weight in the back (depends on how low your drop is).

I don't know the answer, but if you get these, PLEASE post pics as these were also on my list of wheels that I liked.

HKSpeed, thanks for the reply..

i think i'll just go with 18x7.5 all around then since 8" width have only 2" lip while 7.5' have 2.5" lip... dont wanna deal with rubbing and rolling fenders for 9.5" eventhough the 3" lip looks sweet

I have 18x7.5 all around and they fit good on the TC. I have then in anthrosite. I believe I'm using 225 /40s with them.
