Thanks for the pics mrLEE30

Hmmmm looking at mrLEE30's pics.....the pictures i posted look bigger than 16's....but then the dishes could be making them look bigger? and also the drop?

Would 10j's fit on the back without rolling the arches on a convertible?

You'd need to roll, possibly flare the arches depending on the offset and what tyre size you use.

the first red car is 100% 16 inch as pics of it have been up before (i remember the BIC 325 plate) in the past I measured the height of the rims on photoshop and compared to the door, it is proportional for a 16 inch, they are obviously wider, perhaps 9 inches.

dopr on the red car is about same as mine, 40mm but the wider tyres make it appear lower, as do the pictures

2nd car looks like 17's but unsure

to fit wider then 7 or 8 inches you either need arch work (rolling or pulling) or you need very very stiff suspension.
