Turns out they don't make that wheel for Pre-AU at all anymore! F#ck! I think due to the offset that a AU-onward 18x9 Drift-R might actually fit without hub adapters. Back on the topic, 19's shouldn't be a problem at all. I've heard of people running a 10in wide wheel on the back. 8-8.5inch seems to be the max on the front before you run into clearance problems with the front suspension. - John |

maybe its they don't have 17's, but do have 18's. either way ur rims look big

Remember to get some pics up for all of us when you have it done Nick...
I wanna see what 19's would look like, damn big size ay! Will you have to get a new speedo wheel or are they gonna be the same overall diameter?

They did make a 19" Drift R for the E series, but ended up only making about 5 sets.
This was mainly due to Legalities.
