Smallshinyant Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Just wanted to post up about my new wheels. Brought off a member on here. Thanks again they are fantastic and i think really suit the car. But has really shown me that there a few things i need to get sorted on the car. Fitted with 245/40/18 on the front, that work great. Started with 275/35/18 on the rear but they were rubbing arches badly. Im not sure if this is my suspension having to much travel or not, so i have swapped for 275/30/18 on the rears, but still need the arch's rolling if anyone is feeling handy Anyway on with the pics!

dr_jekyll Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 i have 285/35 and they dont rub? what offset are they? 275/30 will have too small rolling radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check again tomorrow to be sure. Want to get the arches rolled to fit the 35's back on. The feel on the road is good, going to check the suspension over before a trip to get the geo done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Huge improvement, looks so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Huge improvement, looks so much better Does, doesn't it? But it has given me the bug, to clean up the cars looks. Job after the arches is to get rid of the ugly orange indicators on the front. They really age the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
