djkice dont let the fact that ive got those rims put you off ive already seen two other cars with them now so im no longer special only thing I will say is that you wont get 285's on them and they limit you on break choice if you wanna go bigger I didnt realise all that when I ordered them you can only fit 255 at the very biggest

:idunno:

285's are never gonna go on a 8" rim unless you want them to bulge over the sides & run the risk of them rolling off the wheel while cornering hard. You need to go 9.5" minimum to get them on comfortably & reap the benefits of such a wide/expensive tyre.

I wondered the same thing so thought it was worth a look. Felt a bit doughy but I don't know if that's because I'm so used to my car or if it was a poor performer :hmmm: RAC check will be performed before changeover anyway so if there's anything wrong I wont take it.

If I get 370 I'll be pretty happy. 340 odd in a manual is fun but auto with more guts will be mental :w00t2:

Nearly said no because I couldn't find the traction control button on the dash & I couldn't live with TC permanently on... Felt stupid when I was told it was on the ICC as it's the dual zone setup :blush: :blush:

Sure you can... Finance is your friend :idunno:

Na I know where you're coming from. Mortgage on top of car payments all on a single income is going to put stress on my social life a bit but I can live with that. If not I'll just setup a meth lab in the shed!! :hmmm:

Yeah I dont think I can fit bigger brakes if I wanted with these rims.

Considering copy dark agents. $700 change over ftw.

Cost wise...

Staggered..

$2600 Kuhmo 225/35 front, 275/30 rear 9.5

$3200 Falken 245/30 front, 285/25 rear 9.5
