hey guys
i purchased a hoppers stoppers kit to suit a datto ute with stanza struts...
brakes r fricken huge hey... commodore disks with ford au callipers drilled and slotted... definately look the part.... but wat a mission to put in... the instructions make it sound so easy.....
the end result is that i hadto switch around the front struts (its the only way i could get it to work). now i have the fun job of picking out the right wheels with the right offset.... i have changed the front to a ford stud pattern to match up with the hilux diff stud pattern....

if anyone can make a suggestion on what wheels off what car will fit mine, it would be very muich appreciated..... hasto be no smaller than a 15 and hasto be a persuit rim... cheers

Falcon wheels are pretty much your only option I would have thought...
You should be able to get the offsets changed on a pursuit wheel, might cost a few hundred $$ though.

the brakes that big it needs a 15"

Watch the weight of the wheels and tires, trying to keep the same outer diameter is a good idea.

Tires wider than 195 seem like a bad idea unless you like having a really hard time while moving slow.
