Um, stock was only up to 7? Might be wrong though. But you can get stock rims widened. Its a look im a big fan of. Edited by user Tuesday, 30 December 2008 7:57:43 AM(UTC)

HQ GTS rims and one Tonner rims are 6 inch and the widest from the factory at the time.
HJ had the release of the honeycomb rim and these are 7 inch wide

you can get 15x10 if you want with 14" center so you can use 14" hub caps.... buy the 15" outer rim and have your 14,s welded in. cost me $40 to get done plus $120 per rim summerfield engineering W.A Summerfield Engineering is a Wheels & Rims Shop Edited by user Tuesday, 30 December 2008 11:59:23 AM(UTC)

Thankyou stuart, much appreciated.
Thanks vintage holden but i dont understand how you weld a 14" centre into a 15" rim.
Anyway im only using a 24x8x14 slick.. its all i can fit under an untubbed LJ and prefer to keep the standard look. Thanks.

You can buy 15" rims with a step down in the middle to take 14" centres.

They are new specially made hoops so you can weld in centres off skinny 14" rims like GTS etc. Talk to Neale wheels or someone like that.
