Youll have no problem with clearence if arches are cut and rolled out! And you choose sensible tyres!

Offsets are the main issue... et 20's rub a little, you will need small spacers to get them off the springs... full locks not a lot of fun.. car tramlines with 10j all round... steerings heavy tooo..

other than that looks lovely! Good Luck!

follows bumps/ camber of the road is what i understand to be tramline affect

u need some serious arch work to clear them in all honesty, a little shav aint gonna help much

also the front offset with a spacer is going to be well close if u think this is a 17 inch 9j

also that a stretched tyre aswell

WOW... how you get in there mate..? LOL.. yeah basically.. if you look at tram tracks... trams can only go straight.... so its much harder around corners at speeds etc.. the car will roll straight-tish.. and takes alot to steer sharp...!

If it was a staggerd set steering isnt that much effected..! Im not gonna lie tho.. it looks the dogs

if you can get them to fit etc!

why do you think he is selling them un used! its because he couldnt get them to fit on his car if it was me i wouldnt pay silly money for a brand new set of wheels and then not use them would you?

Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:04 am

Wheels look uber

but going to take alot of work to get them to fit, rolling the arches won't help. Only way i can see them fitting is by extending the arch.

10j will fit no spacers on the rear at et20 with rolled arches and slightly flaring the arch lip.

so your telling me you had all 4 of these on your car and drove funny that.

Three of them are still in their boxes(not been used at all), 1 has only been taken out to get a tyre put on it, has a few minor marks at the rear of the alloy. The one darker picture is the alloy with the tyre on it.

How much was these wheels i can only guess but after paying a fair few quid for them im sure you would of wanted them on your car i no i would

I guess it depends what rideheight your keeping the car at... the 9's clear my rears and fronts but any wider and they would rest on the rear arch... as mentioned by rossle I don't think it would take alot of arch work to get it to clear, but you will need it done, even on the front as you can see the 9's are about as close as I'd like them to be...

BIGBARVARIAN - I wouldn't drive the car at that height, unless its going in a straight line lol

I would put some psi in for driving then on sharper turner flick the switch for some more height to help clear the wings...

Town, no doubt, i wanted them on my car, and if was going to carry on with my project car, trust me they would have been on there. Like i said, ive changed my plans, and decided to sell all my goodies, as im just going to use the car to enjoy it now(racing/drifting),not having to worry about damaging or breaking any of the rare bits ive got.

Thats the only reason im selling all the bits....
