Will they fit? has any one tried it? will they rub.

Easy, short answer.

Yes, or no?

Cheers :)

yes a 18x7.0 or 7.5 with a 42-45p offset will work run a 205/35/18 you may need to roll the guards slightly

i have 18x7 on my ae101 corolla if that helps

they would fit on ordinary springs or maybe a lowering spring, but you would have to chop some of the inside away and roll guards to make them work

Body kit doesn't count :P

I'm super stoked with the size of my 14"s, so my opinion doesn't count for much :lol:

ive got 17s on my ae111 s/strut, could only put a 42 offset on due to rubing on the strut. thats with factory outside dia retained, beware when putting in lowwering springs in tho, been told several times that the lowwer you go with super strut, the more risk you take in wearing out the extra ball joints

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 014232.htm
