they would be AU offset (+25 to+35) offset rims. possibly off a skyline.. you will need hub adaptors/spacers (dont get spacers tho) to bring the hub out and in return bringing the wheel away from the suspension

Hello, I see your new and must have used the search button? Well done, you have initiative...

It's all good cos I know what your talking about.
You have Post AU offset rims. Basically the inner lip of the rim hits the upright where the balljoint is befor the studs are even through the centre holes.

The back rims fit OK bit sit in deeper in the guards?

To fit them you'll need spacers 30 or 35mm I think.
You can find them on eBay. There's also other threads here regarding them, just get creative with the search words.

Or sell them and buy a set of rims in pre AU offset.

What sort of rims are they?

Hey man.

I'm not sure what brand the shifter is actually. Got it off eBay, a bloke had 3 he'd bought extra from America. The mustangs have the same T5 box in them.
There's nothing stamped on it or anything.

They are damn expensive eh? The cheapest I could find was $450, but I guess I got lucky and, not meaning to brag, got mine for $180.

I don't know much about them if there's different types, I think the design is all similar except for the stopper variations. It's just brands who make them.

That's the same design and colour as mine anyway.

There's the american seller..

Definately worth saving the 2-300 dollars on this one. Use the strong spring supplied for better action, it works a treat 2nd-3rd shift

I just cant see how Billet charge $450 for the same thing..
