After seeing the RC spec wheels didn't fit this kit, I spent today hunting for an alternative. Figured there would be a few Subaru options, but I like the fact my car is a Toyota, so looked here first. Didn't have to look long..

2001 - 2005 Toyota Celica 16"x6.5" +39 offset. Simple 5 spoke design. 15lbs. Found some at a local wreckers, 4 wheels and 205/50/16 tyres for $180. (For all four!)
Went and checked before commiting. Maths seemed right, as the RC wheel is the same size but +48.
Put template in wheel, a good 4-5mm clearance from caliper to spoke. About 13mm clearance at the top.
Clearances are from template too, which already had some clearance built into it.

Will put pics up later.
