it's 4 stud...you probably guessed that...but I think the offset is +20.
My JA has perfect motor - FMIC - forgies - high flow head but...rusted front guards and keyed on every panel. Time to get serious or time to take it to the tip.

i tried some +35 wheels but the balance weights were hitting the strut, the +30 ( i think they are ) fit fine like the stockos though a little further in than i'd like

DO NOT USE A NARROWER OFFSET THAN STANDARD AS U WILL NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE!

and that includes 3rd party injury thats part of ur rego..

its a major no no according to traffic authorities in every state, as it alters (for the worse) the handling characteristics of the car, as it alters scrub radius etc... it also looks like absolute SHITE having narrow offset wheels marooned inside those deep arches.

Starion standard offset is +18MM not +20MM. u can run anywhere between 18mm and 10mm easily if u keep width to 9 inches at the rear and 8 inches at the front.

there really is no excuse for running the wrong wheels these days, we're comparitively spoiled for choice compared to a few short years ago..

nah that's definitely incorrect,

JA rims are 14X6 +18

JB & JD rims are 15X6.5 +18
