Yeah man, I'm pretty good in those terms, but over here the cops have a 'defect quota' so have to make a certain amount of revenue per month, so if you get one towards the end of the month, regardless of how nice you are they will do you!

Yeah SA and Vic are the worst, my mate got done for too low and he had factory springs in and just filled up with petty!

Yeah offset may be an issue tho, run too much camber.

that width and offset is fine! stop being a nancy ... you'll need about a 215 45 though to make it fit...

the offsets are pushing it for a zz30 but 8.5 / 9.5 are relavtively conservative widths..

i'll be running 18x9 and 19x10 +30 all around on mine.. soooooooooooo

put the tyres on and don't speak / breathe / eat / use the bathroom until you do!

Brake upgrade soon, since I can't fit Supra 4 pots behind these wheels, I am getting Celsior 4 pots (315mm) for the front and Supra 2 pots for the rear.

I find the NSW police force okay. Dont drive like a hoon, and most times you will be fine.

too low
too dark
too loud
too wide wheels

Going even lower soon!

I still don't understand why we can't get those soarer radios to work here. I can go to google and translate japanese is 2 seconds, considering all the advancements in technology this should be easy. I'd like to get my hand on one of those, and wiring specs and all.
