Well, new brake setup = new wheels required.
The fronts I can work out, the rears will be the hard part. Tyres will still be 26 x 8.5's, but need to go something that will clear the 4 pot rears.
15x8.33 wide, 3.50" b/s, -29mm
15x8.33 wide, 4.5" b/s, -3mm
15x8 wide, 5.5" b/s, +22mm
I'm thinking the middle ones will be the best fit.

Tomsun,
To complete the 19" wheel package on the first page.
Tyres are:
215/35/19 Front
245/30/19 Rear
Wheels are +12 offset front and rear not +6 as listed (my fuck up).
Comments: With stretched tyres and 2 inches of pumping, rolling and cutting the rear wheels just fit. Fronts need rolled guards to lower and are close to coil over adjusters but clear by about 4mm. D2's may be different though.

Finding alloys with the low offset seems pretty hard, seems getting close to 0 is about right looking back at the whole thread. I wanted 17s as the tyre choice is much greater than 16s and 18s seem to be mostly 9"+wide. So found these, wantanabe look alikes.

Any thoughts on how they would look on a narrow body? Thinking of running 235/45/17. Anyone got photos of a narrow body with these sort of things?
Or what to people do if they have to run spacers? How does it work as the wheel studs would be too short?

You'd need spacers with wheel studs in them and bolt the spacer to the existing hub.
