your thread makes me happy

Robbie-Flat-Arch · 30th January 2011, 15:58

nice job mate looking very smart
and happy birthday to

blackvtrt · 30th January 2011, 16:29

Cant tell without a side on view, but them wheels dont look to need spacing. Unless its for clearance issues but then how did u fit them for the photos? Although extreme poke can look good and mean its illegal and doesnt really take much effort. Anyone can stick wide wheels on without to much effort, get it as close to hellaflush as u can i say. Also you need to spray your posiblue bolts that hold your bootlid on, dont think there covered by trim are they? Happy birthday btw

wassy78 · 30th January 2011, 16:35

Lol wow you don't miss a trick with bolts. Don't worry they will be clean up . The wheels only just go on they have a 38 mm off set people saying I need to get 20mm spacers . I don't want wheels to stick out to much . But front and rear catch so what size do you think I should get ?

Ha its down to the details. Just got ur pm mate, so how did you manage to bolt them on for the pics? If they have 20mm to much postive offset they wont bolt up! What they catching on? What width are the wheels front & back now, with the new dishes? Might be worth putting a swap post on edition38 wheel whores etc, Prob someone out there wanting bigger barrels and smaller dishes etc.

wassy78 · 30th January 2011, 17:06

The wheels bolt up with no spacers but catch front strut and rear inner arch so I need to put spacers on to bring them out . Can you pm me a contact number better to explain that way thanks

blackvtrt · 30th January 2011, 18:11

Bridgestone 165/50/15's abit ott for what your after id say:

Did abit of digging about for u as discussed and the tyres i was looking at fitting where
175/50/15's eagle f1's, however not sure if you can still get them

Pics of the 185/45/15's nakangs fitted, where stupidly rare tyres to get nakang uk couldnt even get me a set, think i was 1 of the 1st people to get them. However that was afew years ago and i think there often shipped over now from what i've briefly read.

Only pics i have with the 195/45 toyo's on the rear, Couldnt get it any lower than this ideally needed raising 5mm or so:

Hope this helps mate, let me know how you get on with the spacers etc

wassy78 · 30th January 2011, 18:29

Thanks m8 I'll get looking can get hold of 185 for it's just front need to sort
