Thanks wagman..

Looking at a set of 20x10 with a +40offset.. just wondering how theyll sit before I hand over the cash

Im running 19x10 at the moment.. with 275/30 and the tyre just clears the rear guard by about 2mm. I think theyre +30.. I think

Mate gotta say you have a weapon there..

Thanks again

Cheers for the comments mate.

Youll find that the +30 will be closer to the guard than the rims I have on my car (+35 offset confirmed).

I think if you go for the +40 offset you should look at having the ecentric bushes done in the top arms like Fulcrum did on my car to take some of the negative camber out of the suspension which should help the rims avoid hitting on the inside of the wheel arch / suspension. I could be wrong though and their may be plenty of room on the inside with that offset. (sorry if that's a bit of a half arsed comment lol)

Is that the standard exhaust tip or custom? It looks similar to the standard but it's sticking out a bit more than normal...

Bloody awesome car though. The rear tyres look like you've given them a shining and removed a bit of rubber in the second pic though, lol. Probs just the light though :)

Ive got +30 now and it sits as flush as can be. From memeory it didnt leave me much clearance to the inside trailing arm. Im afraid if I go +40 the tyre/rim may foul the trailing arm. Ive really got to sit dowm and work it out with a tape measure I guess.

Mate dont blame you getting all snap happy... that looks incredible!! These things really need rubber out back to look good. Youve nailed it!!

Exhaust being stailess grow as they get hotter.. maybe that explains the extra length ??

lol cheers guys.

Pookymaster: yeh the tyres get a good "scrubbing" every single tiem I drive it which is every day which explains why I am nearly finished my second set of rear tyres and teh car has only done 25000 km's :innocent:

I am actually starting to think about changin the exhaust tip.

It is the orriginal one welded onto the rear muffler and yeh it sticks out a tiny bit further than std. Strangely enough it actually looks to stick out alot more in that pic than it really does when you see the car in the flesh (so to speak lol).

I am thinking of a nice fat dumper straigth off teh muffler or something but cant make up my mind.

Think you've just given me the inspiration required to dig out the clay bar and polish this weekend. Makes the pain all worth it doesn't it.

Oi nick Orf and get your own thread you lot....................... lol

Seriously though I have been "GUNNA" get Rancidpunx to do my car for bloody ever now and havent gottn round to it lol.

I gotta pull the didgit out and get him on the job because its the only hope left for the poor old thing to look fully fresh again.

the pics dont really show the condition the paint is in which is pretty bloody average if I do say so myself (wagnman goes and gives himself an uppercut)

Yet another thing to add to the "to do" list.
