Whats the smallest wheels 280's sit behind ??

You can squeeze 15s on 280s with a few mm spare but this depends on the wheel and it's offset.

Well i sat in bed last night and thought.. If i can get the engine in and running well and i can get my rust welded and protected then it has MOT till September so theres no reason why i cant just change insurance over for a month and take this to Volksfest and my Rtech RR day it wont be the prettiest but then i can get a chavvy sticker saying 'Ongoing Project'

picked my freshly built gearbox up this evening  all i need is a clutch release fork and clutch release bearing as i got given a vr6 brand new clutch and pressure plate for free 

The engine has been fully built up now.. heads on with new cambelt and tensioner.. All i need to do is bolt my accesories on with a new waterpump etc and its good to go  also does anyone have part numbers for brand new gearbox bolts as dont wana use old ones ??

Finally settled on engine bay colour so going to order that next week and will get cracking on that..

A friend has kindly said i can use his garage in about a month FOC.. he is going to do my welding for me  going to fabricate up new brake lines  will get bigger brakes on the front G60 280's probably.. will change all the bushes and all that why its there as well as i have all the tools and someone to help lol

pics below of whats in his garage at the mo.. his 'little' project
