i took my lib over the pits at warwick with a 2" lift and that went through fine. they didnt spot the 3" strut tops. also didnt question the suspension mods

Thank's guys, hey Corey, no screaming rush & Russ will probably give you a call this weekend about the bonnet Oh and those big fat 17" tyres I bought off you for the offroader, I really should have looked harder at that hatch I did the deal on with the Fozza rims, I picked them up today & they are only 16" LOLLLLLL.

stick with the fozza / outback rims. wider offset = more clearance off your struts

for what you are building have a look at a bridgestone D694 215/65R16 or pirelli scorpion STR in the same size. I have used both tyres and they are an excellent compromise for a fast offroader

Thanks, didn't realize they were a different offset, I'll probably go for some cheap Commy, Falcon tyres when the time comes, the tyres on them now will probably last a while as they are, I'll just put it over the pits with wheels from one of my other cars.

D694 are the stock size tyre on some of the commo utes.

you can get cheap 215/60R16 off the falcon utes.. they are a commercial tyre so should be a bit tougher

outback / forry are +48 offset

WRX +53

liberty +55

Bugger...
Yeah the air con gear i got of you ended up being all too hard to sort out so i bought that wreck to rob the parts i needed. Scored the dash to suit as well now.

Ah well, looks like we both stuffed up, here's a snap of the new wheels on the dunger.
Corey, if you want to make some weekend cash doing the panel & prime here I've got all the gear, all the bog work I did 3yrs ago will have to come out because I never primed it...as you can see lol.
Thanks for the info Vin, I weighed the wheels and was surprised that they were the same weight as the WRX 16's........16kg with tyres so gotta be happy with that.
Can't complain about these wheels either as they were free

I reckon they look great as an offroad rim.

heres what they look like with the rubber i mentioned...

Now that's one sweet looking wagon, they actually suit the Gen 2 better than I would have expected.
