These are them. Think they are 7.5x17 and 8x17. They do and 18" version aswell but not sure which to choose. Think 18's are 8.5x18 and 9x18. Cheap enough as well.

Might do me a better deal with me being a fellow welsh man. ;-)

18s defo :)

Sweet... Is that spaced ot wide rears bud :)

Have you tried using rubbing compound or cutting polish. I would expect those products would be able to remove the oxidised and dead paint finish.

I used 3M FCP on a hard mophead and it didnt touch it because the paint pigment has faded beyond saving. Luckily the spoiler polished up fine.

neither thats just pure fitment

its lower now and i think i may need camber shims

What lower than that pic, jez though mine was low. Must be good offset then as the std spider's with my KW's would cause the tyres/wheels to well hit the suspension spring platforms :sweat:

loving the look of yours with the wheels.

I have ordered 8mm spacers and see how that goes, may get camber shims to later, but worry about tyre wear.

Probably the best one I've took up to now. :)

Have you removed the inner arch liner ?

i use the boot a lot and occasionally take passengers but its a sit in the middle so i dont scrub affair and that was before like it was in the top picture

my old tyres had no writing left on the sides when they came off hahahaha

ive removed the plastics front and rear the fronts are getting rolled and the chassis notched to allow it to match the rear

atm its arse down

gunna be a ****** to drive i am considering camber shims on the rear as my arch is dead in line.with the lip and thatll end in tears on a bump.......

shims ftw.. best mod i have done.

yea thinking 1 deg on the back could just give me the clearance id need

Not sure why you'd want to go lower, Alex. Looks perfect in the top photo, imo.

i.really wanted the tyres tucking a bit ever since i bought it that was as low without a chassis notch but thats getting done next week so i can go polo topmounts and another 30mm on the front

Whats a chassis notch ?

I cant get my front down anymore due to offsets :( drat

take a hole cutter and cut a semi circle out the chassis leg above the driveshaft then weld half a pipe in so its strong still

means the shaft doesnt hit the chassis like mine currently does

Perfect!

should look funky slammed with a huge intercooler up front lmao

cutting the chassis isnt too bad tbh

cut a few cars ive owned in the past for various reasons im an engineer by trade so cutting shaping and welding is second nature to me by now

Perfect!
