jazz1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wheels look ace, my rears are just rolled with coilovers on, I don't think you will have a problem on the rears.

baldy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 james you really need the strut off,car on axle stands and jack the arm up with the wheel on,so you can see just how much you need when the wheel is in the arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look carefully my front wings are wider, all I did on the rears was roll the arches and had full geo with coilovers. Mine stick out slightly but I have no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 ok been doing some digging on getting my front tyres stretched as need to order them this wkend. This is a 225 tyre wrapped on a 9.5j rim (same set up im looking at) ... i thought it would be more stretched than that to be honest....

JamieP Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Depends on the tyres. some 225 will be wider than others, i find the Michelin pilot sports always seem to come up wider, 225 on the front seems far to skinny to me, braking and cornering might be compromised.
