Wheel woes

Bad news is that the wheels just sold!
Good news is that the wheels just sold for more than I paid for them - which means I get some nice rims AND can pay for some bits.
Still would have liked them on my car though - they were super nice wheels

LEX11S get some hub sentric spacers 10mm i know you can put 9.5j et30 on the is200 all round just got to tap the rear lips in a bit also it will hit the front arch liner but hey its only plastic lol ive got 8.5j et30 and its all gravy you will also have to run streched tyres
Stretched tyres will be a must - the R33 GTR wheels that I have on my car are 17x9 ET30 and with a 245 tyre on it rubs on the rear arch, though only by a tiny bit I might add.
Unfortunately keeping the Works would have meant spacers and studs then possible arch rolling unless I spent on skinnier rubber. It's a shame but you live and learn
Stoney: they would fit in the arches no problem mate, but if they are 18x9 +43 as my 17's were you would still have the problem with fouling on the suspension.
I'm going to talk to my mate (a Rota dealer) about a set of Rota's tonight, not quite as pimp as originals, but at least they will fit / be new / still look sweet with my brand new work nuts :S
My main concern is getting it looking the business for JAE

Staggered width and perfect offsets. Finally getting some nice wheels on the car, taken long enough!

Any chance you could ask him if he is able to source a Rota Sub Zero in 18"? Just need one to complete my set. Colour doesn't even matter as I can get refurbed to match.
