I'm going to be a bit boring here, but I like the stock 18's, on my Axis. Pretty certain they are AR-X stockies, not Axis stockies though.

Ideally, I'd like to get some thicker rubber, a bit of low, and possibly some white lettering on the tyres. I think that would look kinda cool.

I ran AR-X rims on mine for a while; they look good,

They need about a 10mm spacer, and 245/45/18s.

Bit of a shit photo but was from the boys weekend up to sydney, had to get the other cars in shot as well (the 2 navs)

Weds Kranze Bazreias, 19x8.5 +41F 19x9.5 +43R with a 20mm spacer all round to clear the brakes and get them out of the suspension.

245/45/19 Nittos all round and no issues with the AWD keeping everything in check.

End goal with the wheels is new lips on the 8.5 pair to bring them to 9.5 square, should push the rears to +10ish with a smaller spacer/+20ish no spacer

20x10 all round +35 3mm spacers up front 255/30/20

Not rubbing at all. Needs to be this height for the camber to pull them underish the guards.

How much camber is this running?

I have been looking for wheels for a while now but offset is the biggest concern i have.

Plan was to run 19x 9 front and 19x10 rear

245 and 265 rear with 5 sidewall difference to maintain rolling diametre within 1% from memory

I like the idea of different offsets and different widths it certainly looks good. But i remember what my old man said to me a few years ago how are you going to rotate wheels to keep wheel wear even

I never rotate wheels. My theory is that they wear faster that way and it means you have to buy 4 at a time whereas I prefer to spread the financial burden.

They will wear at exactly the same rate as they were going to wear at.

Defraying the financial burden is understandable, but also more manageable when you regularly rotate tyres, as you have plenty of advance warning.

The advantage in buying 4 at a time is you actually have some buying power, and that has saved me almost the cost of a single tyre in the past.

You don't get that level of discount when buying 2 at a time.

As for people who buy one tyre at a time; they just make me mad...

Running stock camber for the height.

Rear wheel could easily go 10.5 +42mm

Front only has 1-2mm clearance to the inner upper arm with 10" +35mm and 3mm spacer. So perfect would be:

Front 20" x10" +32

Rear 20" x 10.5" +42mm

I wanted to be able to rotate. Ozzy tyres do custom offset for free. If you get these same Directional wheels make sure you state that you want directional. Ie different left and right so they all lean the same way.

So I got these over the weekend, they are ANZ "Velvet" (yes, velvet) in 18x8.5 +35.

Two are in good nick, two with a bit of rash that will need filling.

Keeping in mind these are going on a red NM35 which will also have a set of R33 GTST front callipers I am rebuilding, here is what I am thinking:

Patch up the rash with filler, touch up with "chrome" paint and give them a polish, callipers black or colour coded red. (my least favourite idea as they will look ratty bling).

Patch the rash, matt or satin black rims, gold or red colour coded callipers. (probably my favourite, brembo gold, black rims, headlights, grill etc).

Patch the rash, gunmetal/charcoal rims, gold or red colour coded callipers.

" " " , gold rims with black or red colour coded callipers.

Only going to paint as I don't want to spend too much on these nasty rims with powdercoat or plasti-dip.

Whichever way I go I will also fill in the "Velvet" logo and ditch the "ANZ" caps.

All opinions/other ideas will be greatly..............ignored, especially if they are, "hey mate, they're rubbish, save up and buy some decent rims you cheapskate!"
