Ric Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) A little update here, the wheels are on! My worries were needless, the fit was perfect, I want to thank everybody on here who offered me advice on which offsets and widths to choose, I don't believe the wheels could fit any better. The rears are nice and wide, the fronts are perfect all 4 wheels are flush with the arches and there is zero scrubbing even the fronts DO NOT scrub at all from lock to lock which I was surprised at. Firstly i fitted my new BC coil-overs, surprised at the quality of these, a lot of people say they are junk, so far the ride is quality and the appearance and threads etc look very good. All 4 new ARB links where installed also, we all know how much of a pain those are. They were all lubed up so hopefully I shouldn't get any seizing problems. I also fitted my UK brakes which have been fully refurbished along with new disks all round, pads and braided lines. Onto the wheels, I decided to go for Continental SP5 for the tyres, 255 on the front and 295 on the rears, 30 profile all round, perhaps a 25 profile on the rear could have been more pretty but i wanted that extra cushioning over style, i don't think you can really tell anyway. Rear first Lets not forget the decals of course! One side done before i adjusted some right heights Profile was fantastic Ill be getting some proper photos taken from my SLR when i get her taxed and on the road, probably during the week heading upto Japfest so that will be my next update!
