well if you need a tester I live with one lol

[filthy]

You say that you needed 25mm spacers on the rear to fill the arches but what width/offsets are your wheels?

Hi, thanks mate!

Thats a difficult one. As you can see from my thread i had my rear arches cut down so are not quite as wide as yours.

I think to get 9inch fronts on you will need some rather large spacers and a big stretch on the tyres. The offset really isnt right you want more like an ET25 and no spacer. You would need a 17mm spacer just to clear the suspension but that will put the face of the wheel WAY out!

The rear you want more like an ET10 or you will need a 25mm spacer.

I actually have a set of nearly new 25mm spacers for sale

Hope this helps

Hi.

Thanks for advice mate , I'm still not sure what kind of spacers to use ,but just in case how much you want for your spacers and what kind I mean SCC , EIBACH , H&R etc...

Hey, yea sorry. As far as I can work out to get the front wheels to clear your suspension they will stick way to far out.

My spacers are H&R and are £100 for the set.

Finally got my new wheels and am over the moon how she looks

[JayUK91]

Oh my...

[jack-p]

I like that, those wheels really make the car. What are they?

[VGB]

Slick, love it!

[scotty1982]

Thanks alot

Yea i think they were a really good choice and suit the car so well!

The wheels are XXR 521 (BBS LM replicas) 8.5x18, 245/35/18 and 10x18, 275/35/18

The OZ's were lovely wheels but these suit the look of my car better. The OZ's will be continuing their life on a toyota supra from now on!
