The Z30 Soarer was sold in America as the Lexus SC300 and SC400, and both share the same 5x114.3 hub and high-offset factory wheels. Owners usually move from the 15 or 16-inch originals to staggered 18s, and the deep factory offset means a lower-offset wheel is needed to fill the arches.

Read these before choosing wheels for the Soarer / Lexus SC: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
A ClubLexus SC thread points to a member's car on these sizes with no fender modifications. The 245/45 R18 front is taller than the factory tyre, so expect the speedometer to read a little low.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the Soarer / Lexus SC. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.

These tools start with the Soarer 2.5GT-T / 2.5GT Twin Turbo, 4.0 grades and Lexus SC, 16-inch front size. Choose your own trim or axle in the calculator if it differs.
5x114.3 with a 60.1 mm centre bore and M12x1.5 wheel nuts. The Japanese Soarer and the US Lexus SC use the same pattern.
Most cars, including the 2.5 turbo Soarers, the 4.0 V8s and the Lexus SC, have 16x7 ET50 wheels with 225/55 R16 tyres. The 1994–1996 Soarer 3.0GT has 15x6.5 ET50 wheels with 215/60 R15.
Owners document a staggered 18x9 ET44 front and 18x10 ET49 rear set with no fender work. Lower offsets such as ET35 or ET25 needed rolled fenders, and one square ET35 set still rubbed slightly at full lock.
The factory wheels are ET50, which is a high offset for a rear-wheel-drive coupe. A wheel at ET35 sits 15 mm further out at the same width, before any extra width is added.
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 1991–2000 Toyota Soarer / Lexus SC Z30 are 225/55 R16 and 215/60 R15, depending on trim. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.

This guide is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee. Specs can differ by market, trim and previous modifications. Confirm all sizes, clearances and fastener requirements with a qualified wheel and tyre professional before buying or fitting parts.
