yeah 32 would be fine :)

Pity the DC5 looks better (well imho anyway) You could always get some spacers. What are the aussie authorities like on wheel spacers?

You need big brakes to fill the gaps in those wheels ^

Keep looking I reckon :)

The Type S facelift offset is 38mm, the boring non VR-4's are 46, as are the prefacelift VR-4's.

I wouldn't really suggest a 45mm offset with 18x7.5" wheels, I would say something like 35-38mm would be best. What options are available for those wheels?


I dont know much about offsets but how about spacers? :D

It depends on your laws, Aussie may not allow spacers or may have specific rules about them.

You can't use spacers in australia. Well, at least NSW anyway.

not even ones that bolt onto the hub, and then have the wheel bolt onto them?
Not that I'm aware of. AFAIK you can't have anything in between the wheel and the hub. But it would be worth double checking.

over here you have to be certified for spacers, but either option is legal here.Ohh and Craig, RE30's are in my top 3 of all wheels for looks, right up there with my TC-005's and BBS RK's

Im thinking about these two wheels in 19x8.5, had heaps of looks at Tempe and other suppliers in aus but cant find anything that I really like, cant stand chrome, Holden freaks can keep that.

Bro what are the name of these rims, i like them alot.

hey im wondering if anyone can tell me which one, if any of these specs will fit properly on a prefacelift Galant? If none of them which one will fit with the least problems?

18"x7.5" 45mm offset
18"x8" 40mm offset
18"x8" 35mm offset

cheers

i really like the Lenso Tenzo DC5... hope the local shops here in Brisbane have them.. if they do.. I'd get it..

since DC5's are only available in 42 offsets.. if i add lets say 3mm adaptors? would that work?

J-B, the top option will fit, as will the bottom option. Not so sure about the middle one unless you got with quite small tyres.

Christian - even at 42mm they might just fit, if they don't you can always get some slim spacers.

J-B given the standard offset (38mm) for the VR4, while the top option will fit as Brad said, be aware that it will sit a ways inside the guard... The 8" with 35mm offset is your best bet as that will line up really well :)

They're HOT as, I really want a set but I'd prefer them in 17". They come in 18x7.5 and 18x8.5. Ah well!
