^^^ Pics are posted in my build thread (Click the link in my sig)
I went with +35's to make sure I had fitment, I'm probably going to space the rears another 15mm's maybe 20mm's, fronts are more than perfect.

Saw those...it only shows the front.

Your the tester now, so we need pics of inner strut clearance, outer fender clearance, etc. Tire wont be a good judge because of the size your running, but edge of rim sure is!

Any and all pics you can post up referencing actual clearance is appreciated!

besides the rims

Check out the OEM Audio Plus 2011 Scion tC demo car (as Seen in picture) on Facebook. We're still building and have some more modifications yet to come - We've put together an archive of our "Build Series" for the 2nd Gen tC featuring each mod from stock to what you see today! We'll be showcasing the car and our System 400CF Audio Upgrade for the 2nd Gen tC at this years ToyotaFest in Long Beach, CA on May 14th!! Glad you like the look we're going for thus far...

^Not possible to stretch an 18" tire over a 20" wheel...it would rip it to shreds.

^Those are an awesome wheel. Research the size you want and search for pics of it on a car now. It will give you an idea of how the spokes will look with that fitment.

Don't do that! The OEM wheels are 18X8...that would reduce the handling/performance. The OEM tires aren't any good either. I already took off my OEM tires. I'll sell you mine if you really want them. My tires only have 331-miles on them when I replaced them with snow tires...X-Ice2.

To me performace is beautiful...and anything that reduces performace is not good.

I'd look for an 18x8" +35 if I were you and planning to reuse the stock tire.
