i did think about that and may still try it but think it would result in the front sticking out too much, my best bet would be to get 25mm adaptors for the back to bring them in enough to drop it.

i agree, i think i may try source some 7" wide wheels for the fronts and replace them, will decide over time though :thumbup:

I would think once you have dropped it a decent ammount as by nature you will increase the negative camber a little anyhow and that will tuck them rears in nicely. They will fill the arch rather than poke out. I'd dro it and roll the rear arches, maybe even pull them a little if required.

i'll try dropping it and see how it goes that way but as far getting the arches rolled i dont really want to go to that kind of hassle, i'd rather just bring the wheels in a little if need be as there's plenty of space on the inside.

Looks nice.

Thought the spacers looked way to big on the car, but there awright.

I'll be running 8.5" et33's with 20mm's soon! Yass!

mmm i supoze it' s all down to personal taste.......not mine unfortunatly :)

Dont like the mix of stretch and non stretch, would prefer one or the other.

But seeing it in the flesh lastnight, it looked awesome Keith.

hats off to ya fella. :)

the full effect wont be known until its lowered, that will be done within the next 3 weeks.

the backs should actually tuck up in the arches quite nicely as i found out by getting a few people to try weigh the back end down.

once decked it should look amazing.

I have to say the stretched rears worry me.

They are probably fine and completely safe, they just look like they're going to pop, or fall off:scared:

i think red calipers would be good but i love my green ones :rolleyes:

cars still got a bit to settle, backs sitting down a bit from when i last looked last night, rubs like a bitch at the front under 'normal' driving so its going to have to be raised or possible goto 195 wide front tyres.

but i think i'll be dropping the back end slightly for this weekend.

Looks the dugs baws ! :D

just the way i like it :D

those rear tyres still worry me.

Wheels do look sweet, a lot more patience than me. I used red trim tape to get the same effect.

The black box is the valve block that contains the two solenoids that operate your turbo VNT mech and the EGR system.

Where did you get this tape and was it a bitch to make it look half decent??

Cheers

BTW KTP car looks hot :thumbup:

Feck me - are you planning on keeping oil in that sump?? :eek: :D

Can we have a rear shot too, down the side, so the stance can be seen? Even from these pics the rears look to be sitting out way wide.

Liking the black roof :cool:
