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 18 ET 45 or 47 225 or 235/35 Tyres

Rear 8.5 J x 18 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..

Pete,

You're going in the wrong direction again. Not only will 20's result in a horrible ride quality, to included a significant amount of added weight, you can't run 8.5's all around - especially with a 265 tire. Let's pause here and start fresh. If you're determined to change wheels and up size, I suggest that you look at ones that fall within the range of 18 & 19 inch. If you come across something that you like, let's go over the specs before you spend any more money. There are plenty of us here on the forum who can help guide you toward the right fitment. Do you mind sharing what budget you have allocated for this project ? There are numerous brands out there that will accomplish the task without any more guess work.
