Thanks foo77!!

Ended up going with:

Rims size - 19x8.5 +35 (F) 19x9.5 +43 (R)
Tire size - 245x35 (F) 275x30 (R) (Toyo T1-R's)

Interestingly the dish on the 9.5's are identical to the 8.5 (to the naked eye anyway) but I can live with it cant wait to see the 275's fitted

btw...what sort of tire pressure do you run ddubb? anything special for this size?

 

congrats! looks good man. running around 35-40 psi will be fine. not too high but not too low.

 

Excellent

Thanks mate!!

 

Hi guys,

It has been three weeks but finally I managed to get all the pieces together and got the wheels fitted yesterday

For those interested I went with the EBC red stuff pads...so far I am very impressed!! I also raised the height a 1/2 inch all around but I think it drives a lot better now...it is definitely more forgiving on our Sydney roads in regards to the drive now with the staggered setup to be honest I quite like it...but I'll will give it a few weeks to make my final decision.

Anyway hope you like the pics...it was getting dark so I did what I could...I will definitely have the camera out in the coming weeks so look out!

Thanks again for all your help! I am real happy with the buy!

Cheers,

Maz

 

beautiful! you almost look like the ings car!!

 

that's what i was thinking

now he just needs the kit too!

 

thanks guys...

kit will have to wait...next major mod is FI

 

do you mind me asking how much were the rims? thanks!

 

Easy answer would be too much but no...

I ended up getting a pretty good deal from an importer here in Oz but got quoted between 3600-4k (AUD) mark from a few places when I was looking...

Once you get the rims of course there is the small matter of tyres which do not come cheap either

 

Volks FTW!

the only problem for me w/ my volks is that i will never be able to buy a different type of rim again unless its a volk wheel.

 

once you go volk, you never go back..LOL

 

ive heard that about other things.

not to hijack but what the hell..
is it more jdm to not have center caps?
somebody told me that.

 

**** jdm.it just looks ugly without center caps.. JDM = Ghey
