Cool... but the SPACER doesn't effect the tire at all.... So I am still aiming for the same thing (as I am keeping the alloys I have, for now)

HA HA ... cheers Husky! So... Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Weight: 18.19lbs Tire: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: +33mm Weight: 18.62lbs Tire: 245/45/18 Is what I am AIMING for..... with my pants wrong size 19x8.0 all round alloys. I will do some calcs and ask another in a min

OK, so I walk into a show room in 2003 to buy a GT. Can anyone tell me the size of the alloys and the tires that are on those alloys please? My research says they are 18x8.5 + 225-45-18 on the front and 18x9.5 + 245-45-18 on the rear. But I wanted to be sure and get confirmation on this.

Great, and obviously my widths (the xxx) will be wrong. But the rolling radius will be right.

I think it was £799 for a set of four including tyres, according to the website. No idea. They were on when I bought her two weeks ago. Just want to make her safer ASAP for the winter. Then I will buy better in the spring

Yup, you are spot on my good man. I NEED new alloys. But I will have to fork out for new ones first, then sell the other ones. Don't have the cash to front that at the moment. The current alloys have spacers on, so they "look" right. Just wanted to know what the standard rolling wheel radio us os for front and back, so I can match it. Even if the widths are wrong for the time being.

Not enough cash for that at the mo, can I not just put some decent tires on the back for now? What size wheel and tire SHOULD there be?

Yeah... tricky to do when the owner BEFORE the previous owner put them on. I just want to know the best way to be safe with what I have got. Suggestions peeps?

HELP!!! Had my heels off... and they are ALL 19"x8.0 !!!! So, what tires should I be running, front and back?

What with on a cotton?

If it's past cleaning I sell replacments. HA HA HA ... You WOULD say that How much are you going to charge me then?

No-one? Anyone?

Cheers Mike! Sorry kustard

Pinching the thread... but only slightly I have a noise that comes from behind me ... all the time. Sounds like a stereo is on, with no "sound" just a slight quiet electrical hiss. Anyone?

Yeah... the Honda Super-charged version... peasant

Yeah... the Honda Super-charged version...

Friend of mine has one.... Says the thing has to ALWAYS be FULL of fuel.... as the tank is over the nose... And if it is not full, the nose lifts off the lights!

The roads in Europe are so much better due to the whole "fine" thing they have going... i.e. if you dig the road up... and don't put it back to 100% smooth standard, then the council goes, digs it back up again, makes it perfectly smooth, then bills the company a @*!# load for fixing their shoddy workmenship . If they don't pay, they never get the licence to dig up the roads in the area again! THAT is how we should do it! Driving through the A/B roads in France, all the roads are black... with loads of blue, green and red tarmac patches... but they are ALL perfectly smooth...

errr... 99% sure that the car is all one colour You guys should be able to have a look for yourself on the 18th

My "pop charger" cone is FILTHY... Not only ruining the look of the engine bay but also probably ruining my boost I get from it. Possibly even choking her! I THINK it is cotton... so, am I better off replacing it? Or can I clean it?

Did another "mod" today.... My boot takes two attempts to open, SO.... Went out and bought some 13mm round foam pads, which are about 2-3mm thick. Stuck one of these on each of the rubber boot supports on the bottom/inside of my boot... and Voilà ! The boot now opens in one click.... classic!

Was pretty worried my headlight washers were not working.... Turns out, all you have to do to fix that is make sure you have enough washer fluid! So I filled up and they work perfectly now

Next on the list was my number plates I like the look of the square on the front, so I stuck with it and nipped up to my local DVLA office and transferred my private plate onto her...

The eagle eyed (well, to be fair it is OBVIOUS) peeps amongst you may have noticed the missing badge... Got one in the post, should be here soon.. The REAL eagle eyed peeps will have noticed my first mod.... Before I shipped my old SEAT Leon to WBAC.com I whipped the S2000 "stubby" off it and wopped it onto the new car. Save a couple of quid!

ANYWAY... Also spotted the wheels, although they look good, they are the "wrong size. Basically, they are too thin, as the offset it wrong. Need to sort out some better rear tires to make up for it... (As I am tail happy at the moment with these pants tires on, even WITH ECS ON!) She was pretty filthy ... (As Joh pointed out) so a few days later (after driving her a little) I took her to my folks and got my old man to help me clean her up. He (thinks he) is good at cleaning them up... didn't do a bad job, took us 5 hours mind!
