Hey, Whats the wheel dimensions?
I have 15s and yes agree, there is fuck all suitable ( and available )
How did you locate them in Germany?

Sweet, nice to see another of these getting some love!
I had the same view as you haha

Torqued the rims are ...
Front 15x9 -8
Rear 15x9.5 -22
But if your not planning to dramatically roll your rear guard or put a flare on it I would run the front dimension all around,
And for the tyres I just googled what I'm after and it was an uk site that had them in stock in one of the German branches,I can let you know the links if you like?
Can't remember off the top of my head!!

Kicker...
That looks sweet man!!!
Any other pics?
What rim and suspension combo are you running?

I used King Spring Holden HQ 6 Cylinder Super low coils in the front and 2 inch block kit in the rear (think an old falcon one worked). Use the shock they use in the holden too in the front.
This basically sat on the bumpstops but you could "mod" those if needed.

This was the car before i sold it - have another one in the build atm.

This was on a 16x7 rim and 205/55r16 tyres - no rub (lower pic is with standard 14s and 205/70R14 tyres)

I think you could get away with 205/55r15 front and 225/50r15 rear (basically same diameter) as its a big car - just not as much stretch as all the cool kids have lol.

Very cool rims,
I think i might stick with 225/45. I at least know i can source locally.
Thanks anyway tho.

No worrys man who makes the 225/46?
They like a Hancook semi slick?

Nitto do some,
Unfortunately I can only find in a semi, but that doesnt concern me too much.
I would prefer something in a road tyre tho

Yea man that's the set up Iv got aswell,
But Iv reset the leafs,also have an extra 2" block which I will probably mill down to 1" and put that in also, I'm running a smaller styled tyre so I want to keep that guard gap to a minimum,
Also Iv just 'trimmed' 1/2 coil off my front superlows ,which I will put in tonight and update some photos,
Also my tyres arrived today!!!!!

Took 3 days from Germany to NZ and a week and a half from customs to Dunedin...Go figure,

But still I'm over the moon to have it moving again

So I put my tyres on and they look great,
And have got my front ride height sorted,sits roughly 90mm off the ground so hopefully will be fine with the certification,
Hers a few pics of the height/ fitment with the new wheels and springs ..
The back gaurds are yet to be pumped out and will be roughly 1" lower at the back,

Progress is going well took her for a blast with the wheels and doesn't rub at all and it's not very bouncy so that's a plus
