I wouldn't sacrifice being legal for looks. My 2 cents

Just a point to note, Nissan RWD cars from R30 onwards generally have a more positive offset of around +35mm and may not fit just right on a RWD Mitsubishi/Toyota.

RWD Toyota have a similar offset, except their centrebore hole size is smaller, so any Toyota specific rims may not fit our Mitsubishis.

These are just my findings through my experiences.

I don't think you mentioned.... do you have a 4 or 5 stud car?
If 5 stud just pinch a set of mint as looking 17's of a pre AU falcon and you'll be right as rain!
If your cars a 4 stud model... then I have no idea.

I think you'll find that's R32 onwards. R31 stock rims are +20

Stock Toyota rims may have the small hole, a lot of aftermarket ones are larger.

I bought my 16's off a chick with a Mk4 Supra....4/5 x 114.3, +20 offset. Perfect fit.

shame you missed out on those 17 inch mahdi mesh wheels i was selling recently tom.

i had 0mm offset 9 inch wide rubber on the front of my white JB and they didnt scrape. had 2 degrees neg camber though.

IMO keep an eye on the drift forums tom, get something japanese with dish, NOTHING looks better!

I have these on my starion - 16's with a 0 offset and 8 inch wide. They suit it pretty well. Got to have dish and got to be period imo!

Man they're some nice wheels! Got any pics with on the car?

Only before dropping it a bit -

Lower now but needs some serious neg camber

They are EXACTLY the type of rims I want on my Eterna! 15s just seem that little bit small and I need something 8 or 9" wide in 4 stud, which seems impossible to find.
