    HI all

    Im looking at getting some watanabe wheels (or immitation) wheels for my ADM sprinter.
    I was just wondering if it has lowered springs, does that affect the offset at all?

    If not, what sort of offset would I need in order for the wheels to the scrape against the gaurds. I dont have extra flared gaurds or anything.. purely stock, cept for the lowered srpings.

    Also anyone know placesthat sell watanabe replicas in sydney?

    cheers

    superlites

    15x7 +12mm will fit inside guards
    15x8 -4 mm will fit with guard mods
    13x7 -7 mm will fit, hang out guards a little but car will have to be bullshit low for them to touch

    they do a 14 x 6, 6inch = ghey

    The Konig Rewinds from Ozzy Tyres are 15X7 0 offset. They are $250 each or a bit cheaper if you buy tyres at the same time.

    my 13's cost me $700 which was expensive but looked fat as

    15 x 7 and 8's are just under the $1000 mark i think 7's are about $100 cheaper than the 8's

    any good tyre shop should be able to get them for you. performance wheels is an aussie company, they sell a lot of gay wheels, but superlites are hot!

    there are 2 types as well an 8 spoke and a 10 spoke, get the 8 spoke like these
