Anyone using the 17 x 7 showwheels rims advertised on Ebay, they are based in Melbourne (don't know how to link the item to this posting).
Just wonder if they clear kingpin front ends with drum brakes or not??

i've talked to show wheels directly regarding clearances and they have assured me that they will clear. i am going to be using these same wheels on my car when it get to that point. the only thing they said to me was to make sure i get the 12p offset as my car will be lowered and if you don't the rears will scrub badly on the outer guard.
cheers, luke.

there's been a couple of FB/EK's pictured with these wheels prolly best to speak to them about it, i doubt they'de hit the kingpins based on there diameter but don't use this as a guide to buying them
i too have considered them but would want 8's on the back which i'm guessing will be a muck around not bolt straight on
