Yes they will fit what size? If you have a J30t nothing bigger than a 16 will fit unless you turn off hicas. on a j30 it will be fine I have 20's on mine.

Thanx RZAA36, yeah no HICAS here, was hoping they wont stick out too far though, how wide are your 20"s? The 17"s from the G are 7.5" wide and I think the stock J 15"s are 6.5" wide, so it shouldnt stick out too far. Any more info kindly appreciated.

So I'm going for it, picked up the rims last night, hoping to be sitting pretty by the weekend. They're 17"x7.5", so I'm trying to figure what sidewall height I'll need so I don't affect my speedo and odo, anyone with knowledge to drop on that subject? I'd truly appreciate it. Here's a cpl 'before' pics.I'll post up a pic of her with the new shoes asap, prolly tomorrow. Thanx kindly for reading.

Now get some black spray paint to cover up all that rust on those rotors.

-- Thanx mang! I've been very happy with them. The tires are 215/50/17 Kumho ASX All Season Performance. I wanted to fit a little more rubber in there but I went with these because they don't rub at full turn and my speedometer and odo aren't affected.
