Just wondering if any of you guys have put 17x8" on the rear of your 1200 sedan? And how well do 17x7" fit up front.will be shorting diff to suit rims so that's no drama just the clearences.and will also be 4 link rear end so no leafs to hit

Why? 17s it will be so high you could join macarther 4x4 club

Hahahahaha
Done right I think it would look ok. Low profile tyres and tuck them up, it will sit high I agree!

will look and drive gay,just put em on and find out? to many variables to have a yes or no answer.

i think that big wheels look good,and if u tuck them under the gaurd it will look even better.

Will be lower then most as its been mini tubbed and dont think many 4x4s run billet wheels

id put the same, but smaller diameter wheels on the front then cause it going to be popping a wheelie, you wont get 17By7 under the guards at the front and be able to steer

18x7 will fit under the stock bodywork with a +30 offset. 8-inch wide wheels will not, but will stick out past the fender a bit and will reqire a +27 or less offset. The less the offset the more it will stick out.

Use low profile tires. For example 205/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport is 24.5 inch tall, which is smaller than a 205/60R15 15-inch tire.

Any tire over 24" tall will tuck up under the rear fender (it will have to go inside the fender well). That is the height of a stock 1200 sedan rear fender opening.

I've got 17X7" all round on my ute. For the front you will need to trim the front of the guards and also "relocate" your inner wheel well (base of firewall) back a fair bit.
The best way to do that is to take off you front guards and cut a bit out of the panel that the firewell is spot welded to. You can then neatly panel beat the firewall back enough to make room on full lock. To finish it off, weld up where you cut the section of metal out.
Mine is awesome to drive! You can hit 90 degree corners and it just sticks!
You can sort of see where I trimmed the front here-

17x 7 on mine lowered 2"
