Guys I'm in a fortunate position to aquire Vertini rims from the states thru a mate of mine that has contacts there for an extremely good price...

For those that know the offsets could you please recommend to suit my XR I'm thinking 19 x 8.5 and 9.5 for rears???? whats the legal side of things in regard to having larger rims and tyres???? is it 2 sizes up for tyres or are you screwed as soon as you change from stockies????

If its a hassle I might just go for 19 x 8 all round but I like the staggered offset on rears

whats ppl thoughts on 18's???? waste of time?

Cheers Andrew

P.S please dont ask me to use search hahaha

Give me a call and we can talk about offsets. Arron 0411733583

As Mike said your original image is too large and due to its original size it is rescaled to a 150x150 pixel box.

You need to re-size the image to be no more than 150 pixels in either height or width. Try the one below, I cropped it a bit otherwise it would have been lot smaller.

Thanks your a champ!

I have 19 x 9.5 on the rears and 8.5 on the fronts. As far as I know, the rims can be upto 2 inches either side of the stock rim size in diameter, and within an inch from front to back in width sizes on the new rims. Hope that makes sense.

Vertini rims hey, good choice!

RIP, that xr8 bonnet is in neo and the guy is going to paint it for $200, so I'm going to run with that. Sorry mate.

Cheers Brophos...... I'll let you know how I get on....always wanted these rims as you know can you remember your offsets Brendan??

[xr6t ego]

Sorry mate I cant. Will have a look around through my small mountain of receipts for any info. Wilkinsons supplied the rims for me, so they may have an idea of offsets for that rim.

Will let you know.

the guy at the pits said you are only allowed 1 inch over standard for width. my car plate said 19x8 as standard and I got done for having 20x10's cos they where 2 wide. but the 20x9's on front where fine... will be back at pits next week for my other car so will confirm then

You drive a UTE, which is a commercial vehicle. Get a $20.00 permit and you can run 50% larger tyres rims (or 30% for sedan I think). I run 10's with 295 rubber on back. 8's with 245 on front. No problems.

I am allowed to go to 365 rubber as long as it is noted on my permit.

Need commercial reg for that John?
