Dubs Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 looks awsome so far ! , did you go for the 215 35 18 in the end ? Yeah mate. Cheers for the info balls!!! i wish i had gone for 215 35 18 i got 215 40 18s and they just catch, oh well i will change them when they run out, if you had to sell couple of sets of wheels to buy the tyres?? how will you afford it next time!! you should use the moto, if you cant afford to buy something twice dont buy it once!!! lol. it works! I didn't HAVE to sell the alloys. I bought the 18's to use on the car so the others became redundant. Didn't see the point in having two sets of alloys that i didn't want so I sold them to free up cash that would otherwise be dead money sitting in the garage Nice choice of wheels, what offset are they? Cos don't want em sitting tin the arches too far, makes it too easy to spot it as a rep They are et40 offset so i'll need spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 15mm spacers to give ET25... cos offset, also get some hubcentric spacers, and if you can find some on the back use axle spacers to save the strain on the wheel studs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, another couple of days work brings another update. 18's went on yesterday and all the fibreglass filler has been rubbed down ready for a thin skim coat of body filler. Looks a bit of a multicoloured mess at the moment but you get the general idea. Rear quarters blended in Wing vent holes cut out Love these wheels A few more Just sat the spoiler on the boot for effect The whole kit's been rubbed down with wet n dry to get rid of the crap that they use to stop the panels sticking to the moulds during manufacture. My fingers are bleeding so thats it for today! Comments welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
