Title: New wheels on! well sort of.. (pic's)
Post by: sambo on 22 February 2009, 15:19

Got 2 of my wheels on tyres now, a pair of part worn kuhmo's i had lying around. Will order some for the front next week (payday)

Anyway, got them on one side for today to see what they look like, think i'll need a bigger spacer at the front, running on 15mm's at the rear.

Opinions welcome, good or bad  :smiley:

Cheers, Sam

There ET35 i think? 8.5j wide with 15mm spacers. Straight fit though, no adaptors needed. Got 3mm spacer's on the front at the moment to clear adjuster ring on coilover strut but could do with 8mm really to space them out a bit too for the stance. 3mm give's me about 1mm gap which is worryingly close, but don't touch so  :grin:

Cheers, Sam

225/40/18 on a 8.5j give a bit of a stretch too  :nerd:

interesting, mine are 8.5in wide and evrybody says go for 215/40, but then i think 225's would be better as you'd have more rubber on the road.
