i'm running 5x100 25mm spacers already for the pepperpots so i'd prefer 5x100 if possible anyway as it'll give me a bit more width, and i want 8j if possible

i'd prefer 15" but would go to 16" if they were the right wheels for the right price

wound the coilovers down another 15mm at the front today, gave her a good clean and polish and did some general pic whoring! :P
i think she's sitting just about perfect now, also have the stainless manifold and exhaust system on now but have kept the original rear box cause it's retro as f*ck  :evil: can't believe how much difference it's made feels so much more lively and has definately improved the acceleration by a good 5-10%  :shocked:

any comments welcome :nerd:
