  1. Slight change of plan. Wet about test fitting the wheels and all seemed to stick out a mile, fronts, with stretch I could just get away with however backs seemed to be a mile out the arches, which I can't understand as I was trying to replicate the stance of a few people on here. But cougar store sorted me out (thanks again for an amazing service)

    Anyways I'll show you show fitted pics. 10j rear et15 and 9.5j et20

     

    Front

    With a 245 tyre on. As I say I could just get away with this although the backs were my main concern..

    I did fit the rears with a tyre and say it down but unfortuably didn't get a picture, but still a standard jacked up test fit:

    And here is one with the front (9.5j) on the back. This is more what I was looking for with regards to how it sits in the arch.

    I shall revisit the wheel situation in the new year. Untill then, some brakes! Black diamond discs front and back (6 groove) and black diamond pads to match :) should be on Saturday :)

    Also will be test fitting my v1 replica skirts next weekend (thanks to some advice from

    Rodgeevans :) )

     

    Also have an exhaust on the way, hoping it's something a bit different :p

  2. Have my MOT coming up and 1 of my front although has a about 4mm tread is quite worn on the inside (still legal though I checked) although I am worried what MOT man will say, so wouldn't Mind picking up a cheap front tyre to temporarily replace it.

     

    Have re40's on the from so if anyone has one of these even better :) cheers

     

    225/45/18 cheers :)

  3. I had similar findings as you iMystic, with regards to trying to match people running the same setup and seemingly getting a different result.

     

    I recently has some 9.5et 20 front and 10 et15 (1mm less outer extension than the sizes mentioned above) and i found they stuck out the arches a lot.

     

    I too can vouch for the great service from cougar store, I can't fault the service he's given me and would recommend to anyone.

  4. Yeah, and a very members on here have advised me aswell.

     

    I am going to get some aftermarket wheels yes, so the bigger sizes accommodate the larger rims, and keeping close to oem with the staggered sizes etc

  5. Bought a set of wheels with these on, sold the wheels kept the tyres for new wheels. Was gonna run 245's alround, then it was bought to my attention that's not a good idea.

     

    So I'm keeping 2 meaning these 2 are up for sale.

     

    -Michelin Pilot Sports 245/40/18

    -Both with about 7mm of tread on, even wear and as far as I can tell no repairs.

     

    Logo's on sidewalls seem to of rubbed, take it that's why the precious owner didnt run them long. And see a small, crack? Only minor and not very deep atall.

     

    Prefer collection by could probably post.

    Based in Chelmsford Essex

    £150 for the pair?
