New editions are the Keskin rims and correct sized tyres and new wheel arches on the rear which have been flared to take the 9" wide wheels.

Also got some silver indicator bulbs in the front indicators today.

No probs dude, those 205's are all yours.

Definately having a running in trip. Might have to get the car back to Bexleys for them to sort out the emissions. They told me to tinker with the fuel pressure until it ran okay but no amount of tinkering brought the HC's anywhere near tollerance.

I went for 225\45\16's in the end but they are stull scrubbing on the sidewalls against the inside of the arch. I've got some 215\40\16's on order and am hoping that these will clear the arches okay.

It's a problem with the offset of the wheels, I thought about getting some material removed from the wheel hubs but decided it was a bit risky.

hi
looking at my tyre size calculator thingy that will give you 5mm more space on the width and tyre will sit 5mm lower at top edge
that will make a difference
hope it is enough
are they rolled at rear really flush or cut back

I think that 5mm should just be enough as they're only just scuffing.

The actual lip of the arches are fine and don't touch at all, it's lightly touching on the inside of the arch undler cornering and load.

They cut the arches back so there's no lip to them and they also cut the inner arch and knocked it back so that it was flush with the outer arch to get more clearance. Sadly it wasn't quite enough though.

Fingers crossed the new tyres should do the trick. Failing that I don't know what I'll do.

I actually swapped the boot over at the weekend for a smoothed one and didn't like the look so swapped it straight back again.

It looked a bit plain for my liking so it looks like the m-tech2 stays.

I'll be getting some BBS RS when funds allow... that'll be in about 6 years then LOL
