got em on properly finally today!

BUT!

I bought a spacer kit from V***M and due to the size of it, it came with longer wheel bolts. So all bolted together and I expected to get a rub from somewhere. The fcking noise coming off it was horrendous! Turns out the bolts they supplied with it were way too long and were going through the hub onto the shoes!

Cut em down now which I knows not ideal, but I need the car for tomorrow. Now she's lovely and quiet and not much rubbing noise either.

I'll get some pics up at some point. But yeah not too happy about that

Going in tomorrow for a size down on the rear tyres to match the front as they're rubbing really badly at the moment.

nah I know they do lol - balloons on the back. Blackcircles can do toyos in the right size for about 60 qud a corner which is doable I think
