Hey Pplz,

what wheels are you specifically wanting to get?

Thanks for the replies,

I was thinking in the lines of american racing gear...15x8s...

now i dont know what is the widest tyre though...i know it can fit up to 9inch wide rims but what bout tyres...im hoping 265/50 R15 will fit in the rear...i dont mind thinner in the front...what you guys think?

cheers and peace

i reckon they will fit under there, but you may have a bit of rubbing if your on a rough country road

the offset of the wheel plays a big part in how much rubber will fit

Something along these lines: Performance alloys 'challenger' 15x8 or 15x9...

what do you guys think?

so you reckon 265s will fit? i do know that vz's have +35 offset

peace
