Stunning mate

Glad its all going well and looking so

Any under bonnet shots???
What offset are those wheels BTW?

[bigpimpin]

Hi James, I have some under bonnet shots but I've still not "boxed" in the engine loom!

The wheel offsets are 20mm front and 22mm rear.

Hows your coming along anyway? Not heard much recently?

The wheel offsets are 20mm front and 22mm rear.

Ideal, they look just perfect
If Ive got my offset understanding right, if the rears were a higher offset (say 27-30), that would bring them under the arches more so they wouldnt stick out as far??

Its getting there. Only a small amount of welding on the manifolds needed now (about 2 hours worth), but work is so busy with Xmas and all, its difficult to find the time to get in the workshop
Need to sort a centre section, but thats the least of my worries - the Mtech kit is coming off very soon in prep for the respray, so Im a bit worried about what its going to be like under the sideskirts/door pods etc

correct, lower the number more it sticks out, so for example you could use 40 offset wheels with some good 20mm spacers

Thank god for that, wheres the relieved smiley?

Nearly bought some 17x9s (for the rear) with a low offset but wasnt sure if they would fit, so had to say no Just as well I did really

[bigpimpin]

Yeah, 22mm on the 9 inchers is too tight. put it this way there is no writing on the outside edge of my tyres and i've only done about 250miles in it !
