I'm biased about Absinth Yellow as a ute colour too...

Hmm, I was thinking a little more then that but like I said I'm not sure what they are worth! I priced the tyres up and they are $1000 alone to buy..
I've actually measured the rears and they are 15x13's HUGE

So your a fan of Absinth yellow then? I'll post a picture of a friend of the family's genuine MINT sandman pano done in Absinth Yellow..

It would highly unlikely that the rims are 13" wide, although measuring across the bag might show this. What size are the tyres? 295/50/15?

I measured the band and its almost 3".. Yes the tyres are 295 / 50 and are a fairly tight fit on the rims.. My Intro's are 15x12's and fitted with 295 / 50 tyres also and have a slight bulge in the tyres so I'm fairly sure these GTS rims are bigger

Well crikey that is large! Visit a tyre store with some rim measuring calipers to confirm before advertising. Most tyre stores will have them.
You will also need to advertise the back space offset.

Yeah they are huge and the outer dish is MASSIVE! They fit under my ute no worries but I think they have a to negative offset and they hit on the springs and only just sit on the end of the wheel studs

Ok my ute comes back from the body works next Thursday in Absinth Yellow.. So excited to see it finished

What color combination sticker kit should I go? I'm tossing up between orange / redish stickers or blue..
Here is a photo of my ute on the bottom and a friend panel van on the top in the absinth yellow and blue sticker kit.. or Do I run with orange over the Absinth yellow.. ?
