I have been looking at different black rims and I came across these

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

In case the link doesn't work, here are the exact dimensions:

Front and Rear

Size: 18x8
Offset: 42mm
Backspacing: 6.18"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-18
Weight: 24.35lbs.
Finish: Black Painted
Construction: 1pc. Gravity Cast

The following wheel-specific hardware will be included with your order at no additional charge.

(4) Required centering ring
(1) Lug installation tool
(20) Required lugnut for vehicle (nickel plated)

I was wondering if they were the correct dimensions etc for my 2011 scion tc, I simply want to replace my stock rim with these. Is that possible?

And any opinions on whether these rims would look good on a black scion tc are much appreciated.

Thank you

Yes the wheel will fit without any issue, you will be able to use your stock tire too. However, you will end up disliking the fitment as the wheel will not fit flush or anywhere close. I had that fitment like it for a month or so and then needed to get a lower offset wheel to make it look better. These wheels will sit about an inch and a half from the edge of the fender

Then: 18x8 +42


Now: 18x8.5 +25

Thank you for helping me out! I really like the look of your car too. I don't really know anything about this kind of stuff so i'm sorry if I seem stupid lol. What kind of rim do I look for then because I don't want it to look odd or anything, but I don't want to spend a lot buying new rims and new tires on top of that you know? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

a few quick questions, are you going to lower the car? as with aftermarket wheels and no lowering it will look a bit funny. (in my opinion) Your best best is to go with a wheel that is max 18x9. with around a 30 offset. that will make your wheel more flush and give you a more sporty and aggressive look. i do highly recommend lowering your car though as it again will make the car look much better.

I wasn't planning on lowering it, I didn't realize it would look a bit weird if I didn't lol. Thank you so much though, I appreciate your help! I'm going to look online now

I'm a little more convinced to lower my car now haha thank you! Your car looks really good!

Yeah it does look good. The TRD's are a good drop 1 inch all around so its still good to use daily and will get rid of most of the wheel gap!
