also whats the smallest tyre size you can safely and legally fit on a 10 and 9 inch rim?? my understanding is that it is 245 for a 10 inch and 235 for a 9inch..

Do any other my US "brothers from another mother" know of any shipment cheaper then $576 which they quoted me to AUS? this car is really starting to hit me financially, why cant i stop :s

Dont know what tyre size you can run legally but i would try and avoiding getting wheels from the states, as you've said postage is a real biatch.

Found these in your area but realised they were 5 stud.

Have you tried your local wheel shops im sure they can hook you up with a cheaper price

The 5.2" backspace may cause contact with the springs on the front. Recommend you measure before ordering.
