Oh wow, they look a lot more agressive, from the photos I was thinking they were near the 15x8 +12/15x8.5 +6 of my SSRs, but I take it they're about the same as lachy's Mk2's then?

i think lachys are 14" + 14 front and rear.

im going to use some spacers in the front i think. to bump it to about +16
the rears im happy with.

yes yours are very fat. they were ae86's yeh?

ES86 I think. Rears will sit the same distance out relative to the guards as an 8 +0, but have the extra half inch on the inside. Fronts will need a 12mm spacer to get them out an even amount, and they need a 5mm spacer at least to clear the brakes

i was surprised as i didnt need any spacers to fit the formula mesh

was kinda expecting to have to get some

You have smaller brakes, my wheels fitted on ES86's NA6 without spacers, but contact mine by a few mm

At least my photoshop didn't have overspray on the tyres

Looks good Terry... what did you paint them with? I need to redo my rims shortly (I'm thinking of grinding all the chinese ricer words off then repainting)

When mine were new:

Couldn't see the sense in masking stuffed tyres, I've got 4 more

tyres to go on before the next track day.

Sprayed with 2pac, GT ford gold, I believe it goes faster with red, Thanks for the photoshop, it made the decision a lot easier but my nuts are silver (that sounds Kinky)
Typical St Marys boy ain't I.
BTW is the Springwood dist auto club still going??

I haven't got any good pics at the moment or a clean enough car to photograph, so I will get some better pics later, but this is a nice little teaser taken by the camera phone...

What size and offset?

The fronts are 15 x 7 about +15 with 8mm spacers to clear the brakes

Rears are 15 x 7.5 about +10

AFAIK they are alloy, which I think is good since they are my road wheels and I live in QLD, im pretty sure if they were mag they would be dead in a matter of weeks.

They sit great on the car, the top of the 195 just tucked into the lipped guard on the rear

I will have to get some better shots of them when I get a chance at some piont.

Here's a little teaser. They're Auscar rims I bought from redmx5racing (Thanks), they needed a good gutter rash repair and well I thought I might as well change the colour.
