thanks

Mark,

What tire sizes do you plan on using? Is your car lowered? If so, how low?

C18wwn · 04-02-2010, 06:54 PM

the car is lowered, but on adjustable Spax coilovers so not a problem to get it just right, going yo get the arches rolled flat, possibly a litle flare, nothing too nuts tho, hate spoiling the lines of a car with flares

will be looking to run a 235/35 on the 9 and a 255/30 on the 10

click link in sig man, if the offset is 45 it will work with spacers.

DOOOO IT

C18wwn · 04-02-2010, 07:18 PM

smashing, cheers bud, what about nines on the front?

thinkng possibly they are 48 no 45

Snik · 04-02-2010, 07:36 PM

9 will work up front just fine with about et40 or so. less if you run stretched tires. et45 might run inside with 9s, so youd need spacers again

C18wwn · 04-02-2010, 07:46 PM

possibly smaller tyres, maybe a 225.35 front and 245.3o rear looking at pics,

would like a subtle stretch, and max clearance

Snik · 04-02-2010, 11:24 PM

255 is a good stretch on 10s, 245s I think is going to the more extreme stretch.

C18wwn · 04-10-2010, 04:40 PM

just trial fitted them, i think an 8mm spacer up front and a 5mm up rear should be fine, will sit flush with the arch then

cant wait to get them painted and tyred up!!!!

have pics to up load of the fitting

Snik · 04-10-2010, 04:48 PM

cant wait for pics. dont think its been done yet.

C18wwn · 04-10-2010, 05:11 PM

cool, worlds first

will put a taster up tomorrow

What's the center bore on those wheels? 72.5? I didn't even think you could fit them on without hubcentric spacers. I figured they would be different like the 5 and 7 series wheels.

Pretty excited to see this.

C18wwn · 04-11-2010, 01:18 PM

same center bore

the spacers im going to use dont need to be hubcentric (i dont think) as there is still some of the hub left to mount on

pics in 2 mins
