Great thank you. There's a used set on a local (NZ) Ebay type site, but the listing has just expired so waiting to see the outcome.....

Reason I ask is because I have about the same drop as the white car above, and I'm considering some TE37s at the moment, which are 16x8 + 42. Given I don't want poke, and will run same tyres as above, I'm wondering if these will sit just nice (i.e. fit inside guards).

Anyone on here with some expertise able to help me? And yes, I have done many googles and searches etc

+25 is a high offset hence the poke - and after my alignment it sits flush (no pics too lazy). +30 is no issue on stock camber. It's all about the alignment bro.

The best way to wrap your head around wheel and tire fitment is to play around with an online calculator, it visualizes it for you making it easier to understand. This is a great site specific to our car: http://www.frsproject.com

Just wanted to see if anyone would have a picture of how much brake clearance these have with the stock brakes. I'm really digging these, I just wanna make sure its not to close for comfort.

Do retailers still carry these in a size to fit the twins?

Bit late
Fitted gts caliper attach brackets to my 86 so I could bump back rotors to vented rotors and front from 277 to 299.

QED on eight by 16 enkeis as fitted to gt4 offset.
Fitted ok and cleared well
Brake temps cooler by far.

So most wheels from group A fit

I had another forum member PM me about fitting/buying these wheels back in May of this year, and he mentioned they were discontinued (although he managed to find someone who sold their twin and had a set).


Sorry

That was me, yup discontinued and all the vendors posting them online just haven’t updated their inventory. Checked direct with Enkei too and they’re dry with no plans to reproduce our size, not enough demand. Drove 10 hours round trip for my set, lol. Worth it!

Hope you find a set,
