These:
16's



I love that they look like steels but ain't! 
They come in at ET42 and are 7J. Previous design was 7.5J.
Without centre caps they look even more steel like!
Thinking of getting some but has anyone got a photo of them on a T3?

Edit: I spose pedants might argue this isn't really a T3, being a mid-engined tubular spaceframe with the top of a T3 shell dropped on.. but I like it anyway..

Nice!
But heightwise opposite end of scale to me...
I was imagining 225/60 all round for these wheels...would prefer more width out back as its Subaru powered but I think 235/is pushing it or rather stretching it on 7J? Not to mention rubbing up front..

I run 225/60R16 on my bus (also EJ), with no rubbing. That's on 6 1/2" ML's. It's a non-lifted 14" Syncro FWIW. TBH I personally wouldn't be happy going above 6 1/2" with the 225's I have (Vanco).

Cheers. Yes I've had a look over on the samba and seen them on the 16. Look good!
