Very bloody nice & I'm pleased to see that you too like the big 'n' little look.

Bigger wider rims & [presumably] tyres on the rear & smaller, more sensible ones under the front that allow some suspension movement & good steering lock. That's using your noodle.

Be sure to show us when you have some rubber on & they are mounted to the car.

yea definitely will post pics wen i get some tread on these bad boys :P

the fronts are 15"x6" and rears 15"x7"

gonna have to flare the rear guards (only slightly)
the tires are gonna be
Front - 185/55/15
Rear - 205/55/15

i would go wider but i dont wanna have to flare all the guards too much and im not gonna be being a hoon in it when its finished so wider arent really necessary. just want a nice weekend car :D

They look great mate.

Have you thought about going 195/50/15 front and 205/50/15 rear? Would be a lot cheaper than 55 series rubber.
