After reading a few threads on here I'm more than confused about spacers and offsets. Hopefully I should be picking up a set of 20's on the weekend, we'll see. I would have gone for 19's as a first choice but at the moment I just don't think I can be bothered to import a set of TE37's. Anyway, the sizes and offsets of the 20's are: 20 x 9.5 +45 front 20 x 10.5 +25 rear And I understand the standard Rays 18" wheels are +30 front and +33 rear. The car is at standard height at the moment and need to gauge some sort of idea as to what I'd need to do to the spacing in order to get the wheels sitting nice.

No one scrutinizes offset more than the Yanks, just go to any forum, you see a pic of a car think the offset looks alright and then someone comes along and rips it to parts, it is a little confusing to say the least but it really shouldn't be.

I'm looking at some 20's so it's interesting to know who's running them, spacers are definitely in order though, especially if they're 10.5 inch at the rear

That's the one N9 POW or something. It's the same as before mate, I've been so busy with work I haven't had time to get an engineers report on it and now I'm going off to Canada for 2 weeks. I'll sort it out one day, well before august when the car is 3 years old. I haven't seen yours around yet I don't think!

23 and had my Zed for about 3 months. I don't get this mid life crisis talk you lot go on about (maybe because I'm not middle aged yet) my old man likes the Zed and he's in his 60's mind you I don't think he's gonna do a swap for his DB9. A Zed is not a midlife crisis, it's a good choice! A midlife crisis is...a new Focus RS in 'that' green. I mean don't get me wrong, I think they're animals, but a grey haired guy driving one, come on, I wouldn't even drive one in that green.

What was the reg mate? I think I have seen the one on a private reg down at the Ikea roundabout.

I have one

lol my phone wouldn't refresh in time and I lost out I was putting my max bid in of 600 and the auction finished! Managed to push it up to 535. I reckon the first bid was probably someone the guy knew, happens all too often!

Tape deck in a 07 car is laughable, most people can't believe it. My old del sol was a 1992 car and came over from japan with a Gathers CD Player (standard Honda audio equipment). Welcome though and of course I'm going to be bias I love the bulge! lol.

Damn I'd rather grab myself an old NSX-R and a standard GT-R for that money

Interesting! "Damage to road, person or vehicle If the tyre causes either damage to the road, or to persons, or to any vehicle using the road. This would cover such instances as if a vehicle with damaged or very oversized tyres which either caught against a person or other vehicle resulting in either damage or injury. Studded tyres also are included in this clause and if used in inappropriate conditions (i.e. where there is no ice or snow) and they damage the road surface then they would be clearly illegal." So how come a bad road isn't illegal? They ruin cars!

Sorry to hear about that mate! RWD is just a dead loss at the moment, I realised that when I was moving nowhere doing nearly 120mph when I took my car out after it snowed. I swiftly got it pushed all the way home and left it there. It's not touching the road until the ice is gone. I'm sticking to FWD for the moment.

Saw this the other day on a private reg N9* PW? Anyone on here? Think it was on thursday morning I was on my way to work (about 8:20am) not in my 350 as I still can't get it out of my road I was in my 500 Abarth.

Uh oh we might have a problem now. Quite a bit fell in the night didn't it. Car is all over the place! Day off work.

There's water inside my rear window as well, it's only come on recently

I don't know if I should count myself lucky, the missus never wants to be dragged along to a car show haha

Hi Steve! Another member from South Wales. I'm in Cardiff, haven't yet been to a meet myself seeing as it's such a horrible time of year. Good luck on the purchase hopefully see the car at some future meets.

It was held there last year mate, apparently it was really good according to the lot I used to go with, unfortunately I was away, I'll be down there this year. Bring your car along

Really wish I hadn't seen this thread, mine's up on the 31st march, get in there quick, paying £435 is gonna hurt, like £400 didn't hurt enough

Very little snow in Cardiff now, it was coming down heavy earlier but it's disappeared. Still just enough left for a nice bit of car park drifting

Just wait till (I don't even want to say his name) that toss pot in that building in London kills off the value of our cars, at the end of the day, lets face it they're gas guzzlers and not particularly good for the environment, petrol will rocket sky high and make them worthless. What I'm trying to say is bite the bullet and buy one, the sound of a V6 roaring beneath your bonnet has a 'use by date', enjoy it while it lasts and buy one, you won't regret it

I have been on and off for the last 5 years. It's good to be fair. One of the more consistent events of the year. I personally prefer JAE but didn't go last year and they never seem to be able to keep it at one location which is a damn shame, Billing was good, Peterborough was okay, I think Mersea Island (spelling?) was one of the best locations. Weather plays a huge factor as well as to whether an event is good or not. I'll be going to Japfest this year, want to get the Zed there

Only exhaust I'd really want and I want that, not nearly enough pics on the ad though!

Any pics of them? Also any pics of them fitted to your car for an idea of how much they lower it by, thanks
