So In the near future (basically when I can afford it) I am planning on changing my rims to something larger (probably 17") and black.

I like white cars with black rims, so I am definitely getting black. laugh.gif

My questions are:
1) Will the rims in the link below fit the prefacelift 6gen? (Will they rub or will they fit)
2) Will any major modifications have to take place to fit them?
3) Do you (as in you personally) like them?

The last bit is just for my interest BTW wink.gif

Any help on this topic would be appreciated, I am a noob when it come to anything wheel and tyre related and the last time I tried to learn it I got so frustrated that I had to lay on the floor and practice the Vulcan ritual of Kolinahr so I didn't murder people kindasad.gif

Thank in advanced smile.gif

Buy my wheels!! Haha.

The shop would have said no, because legally, you aren't allowed to drive with them.
The laws are something like your only allowed to widen the track of your car by so much.
If you got the 8" compared to the stock 6.5" you could be defected, though it wouldn't ever happen.

The only problems of fitting would here offset, but even with these lenso's, I don't think they come low enough to e even close to scrubbing/rubbing.

So in the end, depends how wide/poke you want to be, and how 'legal' you want to stay.

In Australia, it's illegal to have anything modified from 'stock' so technically my clear front signals and LED internal lights are defects...
I am not o worried about the wheels being defected, as my exhaust would be gone first... Either way, ive never been pulled over once for anything... So for me, legality isn't much of an issue...
Also, the shop didn't say we can't because it's illegal, they said 'No sorry they will not fit. 18x8 is to wide.' which is clearly wrong... ahah
Either way, i'll probably call them and talk over the phone with them or something... Just gotta get the cash first frown.gif

Edit:
Your car is amazing timmy... So much jealousy here tongue.gif
