Yeah.... get rid of the dots/writing/whatever it is and it'll look spot on :)

As in I shouldnt have dish, or those wheels have no dish?

No interested in them above, just interested in what they look like and their offsets.

Fronts look spot on. Could probably go about a 32. The rears, maybe a 35 and that would be spot on. Slight bit of camber and then drop the coils.

Found a few others. Not sure on their offsets.

3" dish on the 10" wides.

I'm no aggressive stance expert, but that car doesn't have it:p

I've never understood putting a 10" wide rear to then put narrow tyres :s

Yeah, I would have to agree there. You want lots of rubber visible from behind, that's the whole point of wide rims isn't it? The 'stanced', stretched-tyre look can definitely be good, but I prefer nice fat rubber on a big fat car like a VE.

Grennan, Those TSW's you posted above look pretty good. Found any pics of them fitted to a car?

Yeah ill be going 275s on a 10"

Thats the whole reason why I want 10", because its nice seeing some nice fat rubber.

Just trying to contact the guy who owns that car now to see if hes had the guards rolled/how much space there is. If theres 10mm to the guard, job done, 275 will fit with 30P.

Keen to know how this turns out, cause I get the odd bit of rubbing with the 22's that were on my ute when I bought it and they're only running 245's (I'm guessing they are 8.5"). I would hate to think the wheels just have a stupid offset and that is causing the rubbing.
