Wheels are a personal thing. Why don't you do an internet search and see what you like. Personally, I love Watanabe's, Panasports, Superlites etc. But I also love the jellybeans you already have. Good luck and make sure you post up pics when you make a purchase.

Is it possible to fit 7's on the back and 6's on the front so the back will be an inch wider ? On a standard diff etc ?

you can fit 7s on the back but offset has to be perfect just about.. and then can fit 6 on the front... i love 14 inch wantanabe wheels, but 4nik8 has too much time on his hands and the wagon wheels do look good, and if they are too big give me a call and i can munch them down for you

the wagon wheels would definitely have to be a cold weather set .... wouldn't be much chop above 15degrees i reckon but would leave great looking 'skid marks'

Keep the wheels. But give them a mirror polish on the unpainted bits.

Lower it another 2 inches.

Bigger wheels (especially 17s) will make it look like a 4x4 (SUV).

I wish, theres only an inch clearance before it will be riding on the bump stops as it is now. Are you saying 17's are no good ?

 Re: What wheels should i put on it ?
If you got lowered/stiffened springs, instead of more lowering blocks, it could go down another 2 inches.

17x6 will barely fit on the front without loads of pain. In fact, 15x6 will also have trouble unless you get the smallest sized tyre you can buy, which limits you to 2 or 3 tyre choices...out of all of the brands and styles.

If you go 17s, you will be left with much less suspension travel, and you'll definitely have to get custom springs on all 4 corners. People have gone 17s, but it's not common, and they had to flare the guards a fair bit, and chop the front piece out of the guard.

I have heard of people chopping an inch off the rear bump stops. Ute owners will have to give you more advice here.

Get you leafs reset, just go to a suspension place, it will cost a fair bit like 300 or so but its better then getting blocks.
