Ive just recently bought a harvard blue 1992 150 carburetter EG sedan and the previous owner has put some revoulting rims on it, so i want to change them, im running stock suspension and dont want to modify anything on the car like rolling or lowering, so what rims and off set and tyre size can i put on thatll look good and wont rub? my dads thinks i should go the 17" route

40mm is a good amount to lower (that's about an inch and a half for U.S. readers)

That amount will still give good ground clearance and you shouldn't need a camber kit. But do get the toe alignment checked after. :thumb:

I dont think that will happen. I have the GSR/sir-g teg brakes and cant get a 13 over them.
