Yep Johnny...Thats the best i could mount...wont go right in as they foul with the strut, so poss a 5mm gap between the hub flange..

Had another look today....Looks an impossible task..These wheels are 11.5 inches across with these tyres.. and imo will look s*** if i fit these with spacers.. Just not the look i want to go for... Oh well already up on FleaBay...should make a couple of bucks into the bargain..?

Plan No. 3

Dont want to shell out on the Oz Wheels if i can help it...too dear imo
Plan 3 is back to my original plan but in 20" wheels...19s no longer available
Have emailed a few outlets already to check if they can supply...??

So 20"
Front 8.5 J X 20 ET 45 or 47 225 or 235/35 Tyres

Rear 8.5 J x 20 ET 45 or 47 255 or 265/35 "

Poss will fit a 15mm spacer on the rear? The 20s are only available in 8.5J and 45 or 47 ET

Looks to be plenty of room in the wheel arches..so think will give a good look..
And will be alot cheaper package..
