I have done lots of searching and found lots of discussion about off set amounts and so forth and have arrived at the conclusion that I can fit 17 X 8 rims on my TJ wagon without problems at the front if the off set is not more than 40-45mm, however in lamens terms the main concern with the front is that it does not stick out beyond the guards (Illegal, probs with cops and insurance companies) or scrape and touch anything it shouldn't, it is obviously the offset which influences this.

There are some rims available in 17 X 7.5 but the range is limited and I don't want to go to 18" because it is just a family car and 18" tyres cost a lot more when you have to replace them but I know they still look better. The rim design which I think looks wicked on Magnas especially 3rd gen wagons is the Envy MK 2 design by Speedy wheels but they are only made in 18":cry: However there are some other makes with similar designs available in 17 X 8 but not 17 X 7.5, I don't want to be nervous at the traffic lights everytime a copper pulls up next to me but I want my car to look good (which without going over to 18" will be a challenge)

There is a photo of a pewter/silver Diamante wagon (looks like a TH Wagon to me it is RH drive) and the wheels look stunning but they are obviously 18" maybe even 19" and the rears are wider than the fronts they may be BSA, it has parabolic headlights and driving fog lights, damn a picture says a thousand words, I'll try and attach the photo, great it worked, I'm improving, is that wagon a head turner or what??? What are those rims called?

i have 18x8's on mine as long as you have the right tyre (235/40) for rolling diameter and right offset (about 45) you wont get any scrubbing and also in regards to pricing 18's arent that much more then 17's in replacement tyres but it depends on what brand etc imho go a 18 they will look way better theres heaps more choices in rim types and still ride really well

Thanks Magna00, I'll look into it, you have made a good point with the 18" tip :) do you know what the wheels are on the Th wagon in the photo? I think they look like Envy mk2 by speedy wheels.

The rims on the wagon are made by ROH, model is Drift R.

Thanks Spackbace, I should have looked at your profile, nice Verada:)

Thanks BladeVRX I'll checkout the ROH site:)

Ive got 17"x8" on my TE (BA falcon rims) and theres a slight scrub on full lock but its not all that bad.
Driving the great ocean road every day it makes a difference with the wider tyres :soapbox:
