Help Really unstable handling after fitting Eagle F1 rears!

Looks great mate. You running spacers too?

No, used to have them on the standard wheels. May space the fronts a little (5mm) just to bring them out a touch.

You have room to space the rears out a little now too!

Remember you'll need 300 miles or so to scrub the tyres in

I've just fitted some Eagle F1's today, and I am a bit disappointed with how the rears look. They have Rim Protection, which i didn't notice, but now that they're on, they make my 224 18's look small Shame really.....

Any photos James?

Update. Dead happy with the Eagle F1's now. The reason my rears looked strange was..... (and your not gonna believe this!) The fitter put the rear wheels on the front axel with the 225 profile tyre, and the front's on the rear axel with the 255 tyre. Complete f**k up!

Al sorted now though (took me a few hours and a quick drive out to notice exactly what was wrong).

interesting , so this means my 255.35.18 spare wheel I have will also fit the front in an emergency? Looks great btw!

Yes it fill fit on for sure, but it will feel quite different.
