Here are a couple of pics from mine:





No spacers or anything, straight onto my GL. They are BBS RXs, so they aren't split, however I'm not sure of the et.

very nice BBS RX's is what I was after, but I couldn't find any Calibra (non-turbo's) to mug to get the 4-spot versions.... the a LOT of the calibra turbo's had-em, but 5-stud fitment :(

I seem to rememenr the offset and centre bore were all spot-on for a Mk3 too :)

Shady - what tyres r u running? wheels look well into the arches, but car still looks a shade high (at the back)?! Maybe it's just the angle since you've dropped the front more.

I'm running a pair of budget tyres on the front, and a pair of Toyo Proxe T1Rs on the back now, the stand I really like as is because it's nose down, and the rear just fills in the arches, whereas the front just tucks under, mind you, my Toyos now fill the back in more, so it looks more tucked :)

Shady - I meant the tyre sizes!

intersting choice.... I tend to put the new tyres ont eh frotn and leave the older, presumably smoother, ones on the back :)

Yup, this is correct, and as for the tyres, my front tyres are only 6 months old and covered about 1200 miles, if that, so they are like new :)

that's weird, 'cos mine's running 205/45/16 rubber, so should theoretically look like the tyres are even fatter, but 'cos of the stance, your rear tyres look chunkier than minea nd the frotn's look slightly slimmer!! I'm guessing that's 'cos of the suspension stance?

Or is that just me??

I dunno man, I think the rear tyres do look chunkier like you say, but the ones in the pic were Continentals, I'm now running Toyo T1Rs, the front tyres always looks thinner, but they are the same size, all round.
