Instead of putting 285mm tyres on and putting on 275mm tyres would there be any issues, other than a slight stretch?

Sorted now, thanks for the offers guys

cheers mate, much appreciated

Perfect, the diameter of the bore is 71mm on my wheels, pm me over your details and I will pay you a little later on as I have to shoot out right now.

Just test fitted these to the car, I couldn't lower it all the way as I didn't want to mark the alloys but it gave me a good idea of what they'd look like even if the car was sitting a little high on the jack. I got pics of the alloys vs the standard ones to show the width difference: front: back: on the car: Rear clearance is lovely and once the tyres are on should sit very nicely, I'm just impatient and wanted to see the colour against the car. The fronts require a 20mm spacer to clear the caliper but other than that they should give a great stance when mounted properly with tyres! Please excuse the pics, I know they're not great, that damn flash shoes up my dirty arches, I'll be sure to get a pressure washer on them next time.

If I can confirm they'll fit my new alloys I'll snap your arm off for them! I'll let you know shortly.

Anyone have any on here that they don't need anymore? Failing that a recommendation on which ones to go for? I only need a pair of 20mm spacers for the front wheels, thanks

That's a C320 CDI. I haven't fitted them yet, going to get the tyres this week, although I may be tempted to pop one on tonight just to see how they fill out the arches, if I do I'll post a pic. The arches don't require any modifications but I think I'll need spacers on the front due to the offset, I'll see when I test fit one tonight.

Cheers for the comments guys, they should look good on the black car. They are GTR alloys, off a black edition, amazingly light for 20's, 10.5's on the rear just need to get the tyres now.

Just bought my first mod for my 350, can't wait to get them on

Feel for you mate, I would be screwing, but I'd never use a car wash, only a nice soft sponge!

Subfocus album, really need to get some new CDs! Can't stand Radio 1 and Evans isn't like Wogan!

Lets not get started on scrotas! Especially when the Zed's come as standard with forged Rays, you either go better or don't bother in my opinion. Lol mate rays are fugly either of these wheels would be an improvement in my eyes You're missing my point. It's a matter of personal preference on the appearance of the alloys. I personally think they look pretty good for standard alloys. What I'm getting at is the fact that Rays aren't just any BS sold by some 'performance modifications' shop. They're forged for starters, whereas Rotas are usually cast. There's a very good reason Rays make the alloys used on F1 cars and the such. Why throw away your Rays for some inferior alloys? I know I'd never settle for less. And Works alloys being Chav?!

But I bet you'll find one under the bonnet, along with a Renault one but seriously, the Datsun joke? We should all know our car's came from Datsuns, 240z are sweet So next time how could you possibly get irritated by someone calling it a Datsun?

Just found some pics of Stew's, I like it lowered but I like it standard as well! Nice to see what an offset of 25 looks like on the rear as well, looks nice

haha classic!

over priced volvo!

I always seem to see Zeds on the road when I'm not driving mine. I saw 2 this morning an 04 plate CE04 *** in Silver up by Wenvoe, Cardiff at around 8:30am, then another one on the A470 going north and coming off at Nantgarw at about 8:45am, was black with kit and alloys, numberplate H1 OFD?

Stew, mind posting a pic? I'm interested to see the comparison between the standard ride height and lowered.

Cheers mate, gotta say nice height with 20's on standard suspension. You say they have a 20 sidewall? As in the profile is 20?

Blades would you care to post a pic of your car?

Good to know guess that clears that one up then, time to buy some wheels!

Cheers for the quick reply mate, any experience running 20's? In particular any issues with rubbing at a standard height, to be honest I'm not sure what the arches could swallow in terms of tyre width.
