do they scrub though? thats the question:P

looks good but.

no rubbing or scrubbing anywhere on anything, just gotta get the right rim width and offest...

they either really thin then or stick out of the guards?

they are 7.5" wide and they dont stick out they sit nicley in so they will tuck under the guards, 8.5" would have fit too

you got 20s on 7.5? :confused: are they gestalt?

you got 20s on 7.5? :confused:

yea bit thin:shock::Plol

what tyres you running on them?

yeah they are bsa somethings.. 20x7.5" 45p they come in an 8.5" too but it's a bit of a strech for a 225... drives nicley now...

mmm
another one rolling on 20s.. they just dont look big anymore.... time to upgrade :D

trust me they are plenty wide enough, fitted they equal a 235 that was mounted on a 17" rim that i was comparing while i was waiting, question is how low to go now, i have 45mm low springs but that is not going to cut it, wonder if i can compress the fronts 20mm and rears 10mm, that'll do for now

as in have money $$$ no far from it, but the car was cheap as and the 20's brand new and brand new tyres and lowered inc alignment cost 3k, im still a few $000 better off than if i had have brought a reasonable 2nd hand falcon or commodore, so im happy

jebuz he dont muck around do he!

What if he was? Whats that got to do with anything.

thats awesome that you found a set only 7.5" wide! i seriously cant see you having any more scrubbing problems than being lowered on the stock VRX rims!

Good work dude.. I couldnt find any 8.0" wheels when i was looking for my 20`s and you show up with 7.5"s.. nice work.. Least the 225 is the right tyre for the rim unlike a 225 on 8.5 inch rim..:nuts: Sif you would..:P

Looks nice mate!
Needs colour coding though.

i still maintain that i think 20's look too big on 3rd gens....:P

Not a fan of the chrome, nice size however...

sniff... that hurts man.

lol

Love the size!!

bling ahoy

Size is cool, don't know about the chromies but it does look real nice. Oh btw AWD, whats this i hear about the knuckle not accomadating bigger mags.

Have seen these rims on a vq stato. Not a big fan but if you like em then good on you. :D

thanks for ur comments, im glad some ppl dont like them, thats why there's variety... im still into the chromies, my last car was a diff look... just wish they were bigger but 22's just wont go on it.... could do with some more lowering cos it dosent rub even on full lock and it rides pretty good, so i might chop some coils off :)

see attachment, old car

Ive got 19 x 7.5, ill show you all a pic tomorrow why having a thinner rim is better. HAHAHAHAHA.

Edit: Theres a bit of a look there <<<<<<<

Looks nice mate!

yeah definately! looks a little tacky at the moment, if the skirts, door moulding and handles were colourcoded, it would look 100% better

i'm not of big chromeis...but that does look pimp'n :D :D :D

You have been officially pimped
*pops shirt*

:P

Loving it! only wish I could afford 20's :cry:

i still maintain that i think 20's look too big on 3rd gens....:P


Ssssh you..:gtfo: my 17`s sucked that why i went up..:P

Hmm, chrome 20"s looks a little too "bling bling hip to the hop" for my taste. The magna body style looks better dressed up with Euro Touring car wheels..eg: OZ racing wheels.

Kinda similar wheels to mine, only an crapload bigger. :D

wats ur sig about dude

wats ur sig about dude

cause we all know who you talking to bjay.....

im talkin to the dude wid the 20s on his AWD

thems my old cars

sorry, i really don't like the chrome or the size. Each to their own, hey

i don't reckon the size, style, and colour of the rim suit the car,

Hmmm.... i wonder how long it will be before the cops jump on you? those rims look too nice to defect!!!! :cool:

thats going to be the problem.... some cop who has a bad day no matter the legalities .... any way i've talked to vic roads and got a vehicle modification manual and there is only one reason to defect the wheels on my car, tyre load rating thats it, the rims conform to all the other standards set out by vic roads eg, wheel load rating rim with wheel diameter track etc... but my tyres are just one rating below what the vehicle manufacture specifies, which im told is pretty high anyway..

Dude, just saying "i'm told the load rating provided is pretty high anyway" is naive and stupid. You're driving around with illegal tyres on your car, and ones not made to handle the load. If you are insured and have an accident, the insurance company can decide the tyres were the fault and completely void your insurance. Probably something you should of thought about before.

Did you need this:

:soapbox:


:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

If he wants to drive with them so be it.

The Car looks good btw

damn, i'd better put some suspension in then, the wheels and tyres are the least of my worries... if the load rating is a huge issue, i can get an eng cert, i have done it before for minitrucks, and considering my tyres are within 10kg of the factory specs it'll be fine... thanks

i saw your car go past on bell street yesterday (friday 28th),

i was at heidelberg tafe, i with with the guys and believe ot or not they spotted you out before i did.. "Look at that thing man!" lol

Thats not all your worries. The wheels cannot be 2" bigger in diameter then the largest
optioned (17" was the largest optioned). You also cannot go more than 1" wider than stock
of 6". You'll find you have voided your insurance.

My insurance company knows i have 7.5" wide wheels they said they will cover them utpo 8" wide on my Magna, any bigger and my insurance ins't void they just don't cover the wheels...

This was told directly to me over the phone :)

It works a little different in vic, there is no such 2" larger rim rule, only the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre cannot increase by 15mm, which would be hard to do with 20" rims anyway.
As for the 1 inch wide rule, again vic roads states "The widest rim available in that model or series". Which was 16x7, so he can legally go 8 inch wide. Not sure how wide he said they were though?

Until they deem the wheels contributed to the accident.

Thats as useful as sand to an arab. You need it on paper.

So your saying im wasting my money on insurance? becos i got better things to spend it on! :)

I don't think they give much of a rats *** they never complained about the 18" chromies on my brothers proton when he wrote it off, or the cut superlows they just handed him the money (and it was his fault)...

It is on paper it sais on my policy "7.5" wide rims"
In the modifications section :)

Bingo. Welcome to the AWD team! :cool:
