Iv got 18' starcorp fusions with good rubber im happy to move on. They will be sitting here at the bonfire..... Oh and I did over 10000km on them in the Lorax and didnt have any issues. I just find the 18's too hard on the roads around me.

Nick's running 18x8.5 + 35 and from memory they don't scrub, but I think he has 30 profile stretched tyres.

Just use some hub-centric spacers. Mine is out to a +18 offset on the front, +23 on the rear & I run a 235-45-R18.

More than likely. Certainly is in NSW.
I have heard however, the proper hubcentric ones can be engineered.

No. +45 i way too high an offset. No matter what you put on, it'll rub hard against the shock & look sh*t. Wheels will be heaps inboard, giving you a rubbish 'stance' as the wankers call it. Beef it out, go down to a +38 at a minimum.

This. Stance is for little kids or peoples whose cars have been in wrecks.

Probably. May require a guard roll though.
