looking good mate. they're definitely different! Are they 15's?
definitely need some spacers i reckon, fill the arches a bit.
And lower would be good for sure
-
Yes definitely got some lowering springs too they are 14 inch
-
yeh they do look small, but spaced and lowered and i think they'd look sweet. what width are they? what size tyres you running?
-
6.5 j 155/55/14
-
6.5 j 155/55/14
hmmm bit small? If I remember rightly standard longbeach tyres are 205/50/15 - 6.5J. So your total wheel circumference is gonna be quite reduced.
To be fair you probably dont give a toss! I do tend to get a bit anal about these things :whistle:
-
Lol your right just wanted something a bit different
-
Damn son, you could run a homeless shelter under those front arches!
Needs serious lows :)
Noticed how many miles out your speedo is?!
-
Lol 😁 did the maths under by about 2 on the speedo
-
6.5 j 155/55/14
Those Montreal alloys aka 'bottle tops' are 6J.
-
My mistake :lipsrsealed:
-
In order to pull off 14's you'll need to be so low that the subframe will be dragging along the floor :whistle:
