Hi gtz

I think the size etc looks ok but the offset is wrong , think should be around 38-45

ok. so no use ?

btw: some tyre specialists like "Elite", they can change offset and that, would that do the trick or not recommended?

Think they would change the offset by adding spacers which is not always good as anything over a few mm then the stubs become stresed .

I would prob say not to these as the offset is to great - but someone with more knwoledge will no doubt confirm or deny :)

Those mags will stick out a little too far, look for something around 35 to 43mm.

As far as the stud pattern goes, there are also some NZ new Galants that are 5x114.3 and come with the stock prefacelift vr-4 mags on them.
