Can you put 15" rims on the new 4.2T with intercooler? Or did they do a stupid brake upgrade as with the 4.8?

They have the bigger brakes, or a bloke in our club says, he picked his up 3 weeks ago and kept his old MTR's to put on new car.

I think it will depend if they are toyota or nissan offset, toyota 15" will fit my 4500 petrol GU. But nissan 15" hit on the caliper. Toyota offset keeps my flares from rubbing on wheel rutts. :)

the 4.8 and new 4.2 have bigger brakes than the 4.5 petrol. The 4.5 can run 15s the new 4.2/4.8 cant
