Cheers boys. Yeah I was very happy with the fit of the rears. Got a bit worried when it was jacked up as it looked like the wheels would foul the arches. But as soon as they started lowering it the camber came into play
dimis Looks good mate, now you need a set of side skirts!
Indeed. Still looking out for a special set :bored:

Spot on mate, look amazing.
Think I might get my wheels refurbed in the same colour.

Cheers. I'm dead chuffed with them. Just need to keep them clean :p
As for the colour - yeah I'm really glad new that they came out in that colour not gold.

From what I can tell, the fronts are rubbing on the little plastic rivet that holds the arch liner in place. I've seen a few posts on how to bend that back, so I'll have to sort that one weekend.
As for the backs, there's a little square bit of plastic right where the rear arch meets the bumper. It made an appearance after the arches were rolled. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose, so I might just hacksaw it off :p
...and yeah 255's is a bit of a pipe dream. But maybe if I can get the wheel hubs ground back a bit and do a bit of arch pulling they may go under. I don't think my current 225's will be a good idea when I'm pushing 305rwhp through them? Even now they're a bit spin happy.

Marsdendean I dont know if the auto does not help with the spinning as mine tries to break free a lot, even when setting off sometimes?!
Tbh I thought the auto was supposed to pretty much stop wheel spin due to the way the torque converter works? But with 18's on the car, stiff suspension and no spare wheel I get a little wiggle pulling out of most junctions. Even when I'm taking it easy with the kids in the back!

Marsdendean Yeah I thought it was ment to, but sometimes if I pull away in mine I can get it to slip and that's going dead straight .Be interesting to see how big types reduce it, but won't it be worse in the rain?!
Not really clued up on this kinda thing. I'm assuming that's because it's a larger surface area to aquaplane?
