They're 17x8 and I am stoked!! They've got a nice dish of about an inch... But oh , that amount of scrapage I get is crazy. My most important question is; is rolling the guards going to fix this problem?
Just a teaser:

Whiteline Superlows and Koni Sport shocks. I even had scrapage with the 15s I had on once I fitted the Koni shocks.
John, I never planned this!! I spotted them for sale relatively cheap and jumped on it! Dunno how to tell if the offset is right LOL but they seem to fit fine.. ?? (Guy got 'em for his Soarer and didn't fit, hence why he sold them......)

Damn teaser pics! I'm pretty sure Soarers had the same offset as AU's so they most probably stuck out on his car, which is why they fitted yours! Nice purchase.

AU offset rims are less likely to rub

Why is it sitting higher at the rear? Did the front Koni's make the front come down alot? It still looks mad!

Thanks fellas.
Steve, the old wheels were the 15" EF XR rims. LOL @ drag spec, yeah I'm stalling it up in those pics.. Not! The rear has always sat a bit higher, but that shot is with no petrol, although that doesn't make the biggest difference. It's usually a design of springs to have the front lower and the rear a tiny bit higher to do with 'handling dynamics'. The front Konis dropped the front about 10mm, so I am waiting to get the rears installed before I look at other options (I am led to believe the rear should drop a little bit with shorter bodied Konis).

And what I meant to say was... they probably had the E-Series offset, Soarers have AU offset, so they would stick out on a Soarer, and fit perfectly (which they do) on Luke's car.
