Smallest wheel size?

How low can I go? I'm kind of interested in going with a smaller diameter wheel and bigger tire combo. Is this no go due to brake, etc. rubbing issues etc?

Yes, they came with 17’s as well. They have the smaller brake calipers that the V8 owners swap to to fit 17’s.

Specs of a few wheels I'm shopping -

17x8
+30 to +38 offsets
(correct centerbore size)

Tires I'll probably go with 265 65 R17.

Found a set, but the center bore is listed as 72.56 mm, and LR3's are 72.6 mm. Close enough? Surely I can squeeze them on...

Nice. Those look kind of like the wheels I wanted for my WRX.
For future reference, you can run 17's on V8 brakes, but you have to use a spacer and there's very little clearance. There is a member on here who's done it, I believe with no issues at all. But YMMV.
