Yes, you can get them, but at a min cost of $1500 for a kit, which is often as much as the total car is worth, not many are prepared to fork out for it.

I would love that sort of kit, but can't justify it.

Cheers

The kits on ebay are useless, you need 17" wheels minimum and 7" wide max for the e-series. Most people have 17x8.

There are ways.. it's just really expensive.

Next time you have your calliper off, take a look at the upright.. it has jutting metal making sure that the disk cannot be any bigger than it is with the standard disk. So to upgrade, you have to change the upright too.

Also, the E series and prior is an older offset and older generally means smaller disks.

You can try to source EL GT stuff.. but good luck with finding it and not paying a fortune.

Which is why you get the AU offset kit and run AU+ rims on the front.

Yeh, or you could keep you're E series rims. If you can get them in pre-AU, its pretty much guaranteed that theyre available in AU+ offset.
Either way, theres nothing wrong with running spacers, I've had no issues with mine for like 3 years now.

I agree with krisisdog, I have had hub adaptor for over a year now and no problems with them. Its biggest issue is legality.
