my new wheels are on and i've set the ride height lower to close up the arch gap - could go a little lower still without any dramas as i have gained ground clearance over my old wheels, also de-spoilered it (again lol) as it seems to suit the car better without it now:)

not the best pics but it has been raining heavily here:(

Any catching anywhere mate?

Looking very good mate :)

Are you going to go any lower?? I reckon theres another 10mm in that! ;) I only get rubbing on the fronts of mine under really heavy cornering, or if i hit a heafty bump in the road.

Yeah, I only spotted that after I posted :eek:

No need to get pics on my account, my own ones are very similar offsets but they're 17's...

i dunno about 10mm, maybe ill drop another 5mm all round but that'll be it then:). must admit i am glad i was forced into the et30's, they sit really well on the rear:nod:

cheers buddy, despite the way it looks, it isnt that low underneath (i actually have gained clearance).. custom front pipe did the business, well worth it for the extra clearance i got.

Nice1 mate... they look the biz :thumbs:

I've just ordered a set of Rota GTR in gunmetal 17 x 9.5 ET30 all round :) Can't wait to get them on the car later this week!!


I figured putting my fingers between the inner rim and front coilovers I have about 20mm with current 8JJ width ET32 wheels and going to 9.5 gives me about 20mm to play with lol :wack: We shall see!!!

Well ive still got the white XD9's to sell, had a fair bit of interest but only if i split or sent abroad so i was gonna wait till the new year as no-one has money this time of year.

Probably give the car a good wash next week and try and get some pics then.
