A little update

[Bad_Pritt]

Love the style and look of the wheels, but it's a little too wide at the back for me. Not a big fan of pulled tyres.
Wheels would look really sweet with the inners in the same blue as the car.

No such thing as too wide bad

I could have put a wider tyre on but the rear axle isn't so forgiving.

Still I have plenty of grip and glad the discussion around what wheels fit and what don't is finally put to bed.

Really is stunning love the wheels too... The gun metal grey goes well with the blue.

Jus a shame there is no other grey on the car (unless you put the stock grill back)

Even love the plate position!

Goodyear eagle f1 a2

I did a trial run with 255 conti sport but too chunky on the sidewalls.
Looked bloated

Personally think you have got it spot on. If I ever get the chance I would follow suit

 

[ba3bas]

At least you know the limit of fitment and if you need any help with offsets let me know.

ET25?! Are you running much camber?
I do so many miles I can't afford to have bad camber

good wheels. agree on the pull look thing, not my thing, but look good here. deep dish alloys

Camber doesn't wreck tyres. Misaligned toe wrecks tyres

I wouldn't agree with that.

I agree that toe wrecks tyres quicker, but camber does just as much damage after a lot of miles!

Yet to take her for alignment but rear hasn't changed from my last setup which was around 2 degrees.

Fronts have increased a fair whack but I have a great setup which has been tweaked after several tweaks over a year.
The next visit will be my fourth this year but as it stands the turn in is great with the toe out and camber on the front.

Can report back when I get it done again in a week or so
