Just dropped another 10mm to try it and then went out for a "spirited drive" :rolleyes: and heard the odd rub against the front arches in some dips I knew would do it if any would. :wink:

Haven't been out in her again yet for a retest, but those Sessanta's knock the socks offf the Conti's easily :cool:

Gone from 18" x 7.5" width and a 51 offset to an 8" width and a 45 offset, so the wheels poke by an extra 12.5mm.

Mike asked about spacers on the back, but I'm leaving them as they are for the moment to see how they go. :cool:
