Thanks man, but couldnt find anyone with same offset as the wheels i want are.. but ill post in there n see if anyone can help me..

you stil want low offset mate, the higher the offset the worse it will look basically unless you like the sunken look.

+22 is probaly about right.. agree with blags id be going for 17s/18s but if u like 19s thats your call you just cant get as close to the ground

well i went 2 have a look at the wheels today (they are a private sale) not from a shop.. fronts are +42 and rears are a +45 .. so i think im up shit creek.. Unless i can run spacers? Has anyone used these n how much of a difference can/will it make.. n yeah im aware they are illegal.. n yeah im aware 17s,18s would be more suitable/practical.. but i like the wheels & my car handles fine with the 19s ive had on the car all the time ive owned it.

Any more help would be great, thanks guys. :thumbsup:

avoid spacers if u can i had em on the front not a fan couldnt get a good balance no matter what and i personally wouldnt want em on the rear but heaps of ppl use hubcentrics without a problem, the thing is you can just buy the right wheels first off save ya the hassle.

spacers are illegal.

yeh i just didnt want him to not know they are illegal if he is keen on then.

by the look of the rim its a knock off gtc style id say get save up for the real thing the ladeeez will be far more likely to slip and land on ya kn0b if ya get the real deal.. its like getting PRADA or PRODA .. just aint right.

whats the real ones? i cant find that style of wheel anywhere.. thats y i want those wheels so bad.. N i did a bit more investigating.. N found this dude selling his wheels ( hes on here im pretty sure too..)

Front - 19*8 Offset 35

Rear - 19*9 Offset 44

but he said he didnt use any spacers? so im just curious to know y the wheels sit so flush with the car?

pics are.. HERE

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
