Or a set of rb's. black, 16/17x7-0 :)
Ahhh, I'm a pain in the arse :P
Check out GB_BB4C's "GB hardtop" with turbo rims here:

Not sure what "rb's" are? Are they like a minilite type wheel?
Personally, I think you have to be careful with barrels larger than 15in on a GA/GB. It's a small car- overly large wheels can easily upset the proportions, especially if ride height is close to stock.

Yea I've seen the colt :) that thing is porn! :P

Ride height at the moment is 35mm lower. I'm going another 30mm later on. Rb's are similar to superlites. Just glorified. Rota RB is the wheel in particular.

I have 17x7 +25 Fox V4's at the moment with stock struts. And they're flush up front. Gh struts will bring em in 40mm. So a 7" -0 will be sweet. Was thinking 16x7 and 16x8 -0 (or +4 with the Rota's. as that's the closest to 0 with them).

Run a 205/40r16, and it should all be close to legal :)

Just make sure you have the struts fitted and measured up BEFORE buying wheels. I personally can not see how the Sigma strut narrows front track, just because people have been saying it on here for a while does not necessarily make it so.

Maybe the hub assembly etc is narrower?? I'll find out once they're on. I'll put my mags back on and see if its changed.

Well, my 2 Green Galants have standard struts, my Brown one has GH Struts, and 77galantv6 has GJ onwards struts on his.
Maybe I should get the front rims off them all and do a measurement from hub face to hub face, but I can guarantee, putting Sigma struts on a Galant, narrows the front track.

The 13x6 +5 rims from my Galant wagon don't even get near the lip on the guard on 77galantv6's car, they sit in so far they look stupid.

Edit: BTW, I do agree with bolting up and measuring after the struts are in place, just to make sure you get your measurements right.
No point buying rims that wont fit.
