Yuppo, will need some rear adjuster arms sometime, just trying to get coilovers and DTSS eliminator bushes sorted first!

How much camber do you get at the rear when slammed on these?

Jord

take a look at my rear photo mate, thats with nothing adjustable - you get a fair bit.

I think i need some of those DTSS thingies - are they hard to fit?

I\'ve not done it, guess ease depends on the state of your car. E.g. mine will be a bastid!

papercutout what wheels are those on the back of your cab?

papercutout

Everyone wants to know that, makes me wonder if I should stop telling :p

Banded Dodge Calibre steels - originally 6.5J ET38, now 9.5J ET0.

Jord

Got bored of the green wheels and arch roller doesn\'t arrive until the weekend.



Will get daylight pictures tomorrow. Sits pretty well on them, they are Origin DNA02 17x9.5 +15 front 17x9.5 +9 rear.

Pussaaaaaayyyy!

Lol, you ARE still going to do the manly wheels aren\'t you? The Origins aren\'t bad, but I think the Rota\'s actually looked better.

Jord

Yeah, I just fitted these as I was fed up of the green and I don\'t have use of an arch roller until after the weekend. If these do stay I think they\'ll be going black, grey or bronze as the bright white just highlights how 80s-tastic the car\'s paint is.

Jord

POW. Went on with a bit of a pull. Third set of wheels in as many weeks :D

18x11+16 with a 255/35.

....e pictures.

Looks good! Now the front? Amazingly you don\'t appear to even have more poke than me! I reckon a little more pull and you can go a little lower :D

Jord

We lowered it approx 10mm more last night, theres room for a little adjustment I think but its pretty tight now.
 
Its either pull the metal a touch more and risk ....... the wing and go lower or run as is with the metal semi-fooked :D Nothing a skim of filler and paint wont fix.
 
Fronts will be easy, just need to order some rubber for them. Need to decide on whether I\'m keeping the centres black [ala the rears] or painting them all silver [ala the fronts].
