Hey guys. Might be going some new wheels. Looking at maybe jap style. What the widest I could run on the rear safely? Currently have 8" all round. Cheers

What's the widesi you can run 'safely'?
Dunno, but 'legally' they can't project past the body of the vehicle.

In Canberra, they can protrude from the guards by up to 15mm. Last time I checked. Not sure about the other states.

i had 9.5's on mine, the rear of the arch chewed the edge of the tyres out, that spot couldnt be rolled either. The shop i went to suggested cutting the guard instead. So that was the end of that set of wheels haha. That was 20' with +36 offset. +40, +42 might get away with it. Not 100% sure though...

I only have 18x8’s with 265’s, i tried a friends 20x10’s with 275’s and very tight, looked good. My old 245’s would scrape on bumps with a car load and full fuel, i dome some guard mods, about 10 minutes work.
