It's probably been asked to death but can people post up a photo of your mighty boy or hatch with different wheels on and note the rim size and offset. And what modifications were need to fit them if any. I have read through the fitting larger wheels thread but I want to see what they all actually look like.
Thanks

Hey how u doing I will post a photo of my mags it will take a few days its in the shop getting panel work doe ready for painting. There 13 inch at I bought them at a wreckers for suzuki , he told me they were a universal fit. The only problem I had was fitting the standard nuts they were small and hard to tighten properly.braden has now supplied me with the crome nuts that are deeper. I found the ride better and there is no scrapping on front guard.

I have a few hundred photos of different MBs, but obviously I'm not going to put them all up.
If you want to be more specific about the size/style you're interested in I'll do my best to help.

morning everyone,
my rims came off my old Mitsubishi Cordia
tyres are 175/50 r13. I needed to due a 5mm spacer on the back tyres to stop them rubbing on the bump stop frame.
I have the plastic insert for the centre color matched to the rest. iam thinking of painting the recessed sections the same color as the car when i finally decide which color to go with.
If near enough was good life would be boring.

They all look great guys. I want to see how big different sizes look on them all. But to be specific im wanting to put small and wide wheels on mine. Something like 12 or 13x7 or 8 With a low offset for the most dish possible with out needing to tub it and stretch the tires to fit. Im going to pump the guards or put flares on if needed. I love the japanese bosozoku style

How's the ride with the increased scrub radius and stretch on the tyres? It must tram-line and bump steer like a bitch!
It does look epic though. :thumbup1:
