nah I actually preferred what ive ordered, but they dont come in +20 which was what I wanted for the front, so had a look at the sf06's. 

 

on closer measuring I def dont want further out then +25. 

 

so my original choice is all good :imsohappy:

Mate you really need to order in your tyres.
I got both my 295/35r18 for $640 from st George tyres.

 

Yeah I know, but im happy to help out the local shop in my small town, he does look after me in other ways.

Thinking of getting nitto nt05s 305/30/20 next time if they will fit on the rim ? ebay have em for 580 each I think it was.

Hahaha,

 

Well his storing my car for free atm, then pulling the blown block out finding what went wrong for free and letting his young guys learn stuff they normally dont see.

 

Then putting the new block gear box and drivable again until I get it to joe for tuning all cheap as well.

wheels arrived today from Mars Performance- super quick (they actually came yesterday, but I wasnt home to receive them), and good communication.

 

quality looks good, but because they get them blank and bore the PCD/ offset, the holes are raw, not painted. the raw back face doesnt bother me, but the holes would be nice painted...

 

did a test run at my local bob jane- (mt barker- the guys are always willing to help me out). fitment looks good.

 

I couldnt get the tyres from my current rims fitted though as I had previously installed long high tensile studs to suit my slip over 20mm spacers on the front, and my spline drive nuts bottomed out before clamping the wheels.

 

so off to ford to get new standard studs. they had a couple old hubs from a ba they just replaced so knocked the studs out, handed em over and said to drop in a 6 pack when I get chance.

 

champions....

 

now booked in for friday arvo to have everything changed over.
