I have 17's they look ok. the problem is that you need to get the right profile tyre otherswise it could look like a 4wd.
i dont really have any pics i can post at the moment

Actually, 18's. Not really what you were after but you get the idea.
Made this modification to the front of guard to stop it catching.
Folding in the lips. These "modifications" were also made to the areas in the yellow circles.
Old photos, car now sits lower and all the chrome colour trim is on too.
Cheers

One of the nicest set of 17's I have seen. They are so nice I want a set!
This is one of Aggros replies regarding the wheels.
"thanks everyone
fronts are 17x8 rears are 17x9.5 with ALOT of dish rockernana.gif and with the new tyres and suspension mods it handles so well. and those brakes!!!!! u can sorta see them in the middle pic, but the rotors fill the front rims "

After seeing the fr17's i need to get some, i originally bought the f90 in 17inch thinking that the smaller centre would be better for the LX but i was wrong. Here is a few pics of mine with the 17's, yeah i know i need to widen the fronts

cheers for linkin my car alan,
UNVSM8 - i went off the rolling diameter of an L34 - 195/70/14 to work out my rolling diameter for my 17's ended up with 235/40/R17 fronts and 255/40/R17 rears - but we set it up to run 275's on the back end and i think with my widths the profile still looks good on the old torana.
but...........they dont make my wheels anymore...... but if u get custom offsets etc from american racing expect about $650 - $800 a rim
cheers,
Rowan

...By the way that G-Pack is absolutely Awesome. I have seen pics of them before and wasn't that impressed. That one though just hits the spot. And that hatch gives me a boner as well.
Here is my car when it had Avanti 17x7's on it.

Hi Kudu,
Did you have any clearance problems with the front spoiler (or any where else) with the 17" wheels?
I'm looking at getting 17" for my Torana which is similar to your setup (front two piece spoiler, no wheel flares).

Some very nice wheels so far!!! Makes we wanna buy new rims too!!! haha.
Just for interests sake.... another option is to use 16's. I reckon they look sweet on Torana's - not too big, not too small. Depending on rim and tyre sizes chosen, they provide superior handling and feel compared to original old 13's and 14's....
Here is my hatchback fitted with 16 x 7's (front) and 16 x 8's (rear). Tyres are 205/50 and 225/50. Torana stud pattern, I did roll my guard lips in to get clearance. Very happy with these for both look and feel.
Cheers.
