Yep the FGXR8 rims look great ! but my only dislike re factory rims 8" all round.
All the rim pics above look great but they don't fill out the rear.

We'll see. lots of nice wheels around but at the moment i think a nice set of AFR165's might be a better investment.

Yep I reckon so.

Maurie, I know you run wider rears on yours, but if the issues that Noddy was having on the cruise up here a few weeks ago are anything to go by, then I'm not really sure I'd want them wider. They do look fantastic though.

Unless there is a fix for it.

Yer Peut agreed but I don't know what his rims offset are I saw those posts.
As for myself before having 19x9.5rears correct offset hardly pose's a problem matched with the correct fit tyre without bulging walls - the only area that gets a light scrape and at spirited driving is the inside body at the plastic gaurd - normal cruising nothing for me.
Now wearing 20x10 rears same to the above but again correct fitments is the key.
Yes there are other minor "fix's" that can avoid this totally - T3man has a thread regarding special build azzuro's with 9" rears.
In saying that I'm soon considering going back to 18's but at staggered fit go figure going puny hehe

Sorry back on topic - Aust right move get the powa sorted 1st !
