fuck yes! that is near perfect rim fitment. If it were me I would perhaps drop down to 17" diameter so the ride height can go lower, and either space the rears out or have wider rear rims. I reckon the wheel centers would look nicer silver to match the body colour.

That looks mad! I agree with the centers being better in a lighter colour though so the rim can be better appreciated.
Next job might be to fix the droopy drivers mirror!

Thanks dude, its running at a responsible safe height at the moment, it will be able to go lower with the rears rolled out more. Im pleased the fronts fitted well considering its a 10 inch rim I agree with you about the 17's, you would def be able to go lower. My coilovers are all as high as they will go atm! haha, they aren't originally for a staz so the springs are far too short. I'll fix that up with a harder, longer spring later on. The wheels currently don't actually have any centres on them. Just straight through to the hubs. They come with some ricey ones that I might be able to modify a bit.

@ enthuzed I need some suitable aftermarket mirrors I think
@ redzone @Junkers @fugazi @groupAralliart Thanks guys!
@JAS Likewise lol

Looks great!
I think the black centres have a sort of menacing charm, accentuating the dished look. They also pick up the black plastic/pin stripes and window rubbers for an even combo.
To be picky, I also think the rears need a little more poke to match the front (or fronts tucked to match the rears, but realize that's probably not poss).

Good selection of angle pics, what about clearing up the final specs as a reference for others?
18x10 +15 wheels all round?
Front tyres and hub spacers?
Rear tyres and Hub spacers?

looks amazing mate, cant believe youre not having rubbing issues!

the front looks really good, havent seen many fill it out that nicely.

You have thought long and hard lol, sounds good, all good points. I plan to do more work on the rear. I have done a lot more in the front like rolling the guards to make it drivable. I still plan to roll the rears and add in the factory spacers that come in in the front. That will bring the rear out to 20mm. The wheels don't actually have any centre caps in. I'll get some new photos up that show the centres a bit better.

So specs for the upgrade this far forward

Rear
Tyres: 255/35/18
Spacers: 15mm (need more)
Wheel: 18x10 15+ offset

Front
Tyres: 245/35/18
Spacers: 25mm (to get off the strut)
Wheel: 18x10 15+ offset

Would have preferred staggered rims but i made it work and I get full lock each way so I probably wouldn't go back :beer

Thanks mate, I was a little worried im not going to lie after what you said then sizing up the rims and tyres but managed to sort it out in the end. I would really like to get the rears up to speed with the fronts = )
