  • Hi, for those of you that don't know, I'm a tw@!
yeah 205/40's, bloke I bought it off said it's on a fully adjustable spax coilover kit :undecided: although I don't think it is adjustable, was supposed to have a lot of stuff that it hasn't. 

Might be worth checking the offset of the wheels, you need et35 or 30.

how do I check it and what is offset?

Offset is how far in or out the wheel is, check on the back of the wheel and you should find an et number.
