thanks for the comments guys - im hoping to get some good pics and sort out my sig. :rolleyes:

I do have one issue though - my car is so b!00dy low the tyres catch the arch lips

Luckily my suspension is rock solid so there is hardly any movement - going to try taking my sub box out of the boot and see how it goes - either way its a visit to the bodyshop by the looks of it - hope they can sort it out

Cool Rims :cheers

Your car looks really nice, but you gotta change that silly wing, your car is all curves and sexy and then there\'s this bloody great angular wing on the back, I suggest you whip it off and see how much better she\'d look bare arsed

mark what size rear tyre did u go for they shouldnt catch if u have 255/35/18.it will cost about 70.00 quid to have the arches rolled

oldone · March 20, 2006, 08:56:05 PM

That car is all sex if you see it on the road...the stance is great,the wheels are cool and the wing is just perfect for the car......im just an artist,so who cares about my opinion.......... :Typing

I went for 255\'s. My car is VERY low. Im not exagerating, my tyre is 5mm from the lip on the rear arches!! Luckily my suspension is very stiff, the only time it catches is if I hit a bump at speed or when cornering hard - neither of which I want a blow out whilst doing!! :eek

how much of the tyre is it catching as ultralite were saying a 265 wld be ok and this is def not the case..the other style in 9x18 and 265 with 35 offset doesnt catch but seems a few mm is all it takes..u need to get back on to ultralite about this..i am away till wed

M@r]{ · March 20, 2006, 09:13:17 PM

Its fine, I love the look of the wheel and wouldnt swap them for a thinner wheel at all, i\'m really pleased with the way they look so wide at the back. As I said, my car is uncommonly low so they werent to know. It only just catches, you probaly wouldnt have to remove all of the lip for it to clear. And everyone else who had this style is fine - its just mine :rolleyes: Im kind of getting used to nothing ever go straight forward with my car - she is an awkward hard to please b!tch - but I love her (are we still talking about my car here? :p )

Hmm im going there on Thursday so will ask about this aswell...

Gord.R · March 20, 2006, 09:32:49 PM

Looks good mark...

I would recommend 255 to be sensible... we have run 235/ 255 combo and 245/265 as recommended and found the 235/255 to be far better although didnt fill the rim quite as well... i know donato is running 235/255 on his Ultralites...

Cheers

Ive got 225/255 not 235 on the fronts. Apparently that was the way to go to keep the rolling radius\'s closer??

Barearsed is the way baby !!

Sooo much more classy :chat

rextreme · March 21, 2006, 08:12:18 AM

mmm sweet...

M@r]{ · March 21, 2006, 08:24:48 AM

:rollin :rollin

I do quite like it bare @rsed - nice one Dave :Thumbsup!

But I do still like it with the spoiler! Damn it - I hate decisions like this. Hoping to get it into a bodyshop soon so this decision would have to be made soon

Could alwys get the holes filled, go bare arsed than if I change my mind put it back on again?

Dave? Fancy doing a paintshop jobby by removing the spoiler from the picture front on? :rolleyes:

What about aerodynamics though? Dont you need a spoiler at speed? To keep the back end \'planted\' ??
