    Only thing you are really limited with rim choice so if your happy with spacers and alloy just run with them as long as they are tight and the billet ones they are perfectly safe. The only time It becomes a problem is insurance but they would have to be blamed as being a contributing factor to an accident for it to become a problem, it comes down to what risks you want to take and way up the options.
    So a set of sunraysia 16x8 "0 offset" rims should in theory allow me to remove my wheel spacers, keep my great turning circle and increase my tyre size all without rubbing on full flex?

    Thanks for the info guys. The problem with doing research online is that if you look hard enough you can actually end up more confused than prior to searching.

    How do the sunraysias compare to the dynamic rims? Do they have the same issues with sitting properly on the hub?

    I have King Wheels but I think they are all the same as in are all stud centric so centralise the rim on the studs i dont find them a problem as long as you do your wheel nuts up correctly in a star pattern in 3 phases Then after say 15km recheck them for tightness.

    The only thing to be aware of is that standard LR steelie wheel nuts dont suit these rims as the chamfer in the rim doesn't match so you'll have to source the wheels nuts from the same rim supplier you decide to go with. I found getting the correct wheel nuts for the rims the hardest part as no one had them on shelf and had to come straight from the rim suppliers head office place.

    Hope that all makes sense haha

    cheers Brian

    Patchy, when you refer to the spacers :

    "billet ones are perdectly safe".

    I have terrafirma 30mm billet alloy spacers. Are they what you are refering to or not???

    Yeah they will be safe just aslong as they're fitted correctly as in bolted up to torque spec and the such.

    ppl say they are unsafe but many high performance euro cars run them factory and are perfectly legal...

    I've also personally seen how strong they are after play with my other car on closed roads doing some drifting I smashed a square blocked curb destroying a rim down to the same diameter as the rims centre and the spacer I can say I wouldn't think twice worring about them ever failing

    You could reverse the centers on D1 steelies......although I'm not sure what offset you would end up with.
