We got my mates RC090's back from re-furb and fitted them up last night.
The car was running BBS CX's with toyo R888's with a 45 profile, and as track rubber is a bit chunky the 215 40's looked a bit lost at first.
I've advised some 10mm spacers at the back. Only had my phone handy for the pics:

Now i've seen the pic's bigger they really are awful..........but you get the idea.

You may need some spacers up front to clear the caliper anti rattle springs, I did.

Nice wheels 8)

Yeah, the front clips will catch, if they're not already they will if it has new pads put in!

And yep, they definately need rear spacers, there's a lot of room in the arches, although the 9in rears do a much better job than the 8s :wink:
cheers,

Cheers, the front has studs instead of wheel bolts, so when fitting we didn't need to turn the wheel at all.

We thought the fronts looked good, what sort of width spacer are we talking?
