| yeah man, they will except trade ins, pending on the condition of your rims is the price they will give you. I had a little help from a mate of mine too who knew one of the blokes, that's why I was lucky enough to get them at that price |

| steven, i don't know how low is my car, but u can check my profile, and i got a adjustable after market suspension, so i set the level to suit my 18 inch rims and no rub guard at all, but after i put this 19 inch and just a little bit low again and front and rear rub the guard all the time, and i don't know the offset of the wheel too, because the shopkeeper said that wheel will no problem to my car. |

I'd be taking them back and complaining as sounds to me like there isn't enough offset. |

| Sam, Look like the wheels have wrong offset, didnt i told you to check the offset when getting new rims. Soarer stud pattern is 5x114.3 with +50 offset. +45 to +50 is ideal and +35 and lower are Nissan offsets. Not suitable for the Soarer Best to take the wheels back to the shop and see if you can exchange for another set. |

| Awesome mags mate! Now go and buy a can of caliper spray and really set them off. It'll only take you a day and you will make it a package deal (ie wont see the rust on the caliper anymore). Awesome choice, love the 19's |

| hi guys, i pick up my car this afternoon and they fix the problem now, they change the front tyre from 245/35/19 to 225/35/19 and now no rub anymore in the front, and the rear they just roll the guard and now no rub anymore with the 275/30/19. Just have a question about do you guys think 225 size in the front will too small? it is look skinny tyre for me in the front, but so far so good, not sure about long term, 245 will rub the guard, but i don't know why the shopkeeper didn't give me 235. I will take a photo tomorrow morning and post it here. |

| 225 is actually the standard TT size so you should be OK and you will get less or no tramlining. It may look odd on the rim though. |

| The offset looks awfully low. You cannot normally get deep dish on standard offset. |

| Offset seems to be sitting where a +38mm would be. Check if it's scrubbing the springs (or coilovers, whichever you have) and check the guards, you may need to lip the guards for some extra clearance If it's scrubbing the struts though you'd have to get new wheels to sit them further away. |
