  2. Shh Vlads The fronts are 9.5J with +15et The min spacer I could get away with is 23/24mm. But that makes the wheel 2inches out of the arch. The research was done, however I didn't realise the states don't run Brembos.
  3. Someone did mention that last night, but not sure how safe that is machining down the brembos
  4. Depends if he has JDM brakes, also where I'm on stock heigh and there lowered/camber, they can get away with it easier than me.
  5. Even if I could get the stretch, the front wheels stick out further than the rears, and just looks shite :/

  7. Okay, this was a long winded post, but I bloody closed the tab and cba to re-writie it Anyway, surprised Buster, Mrs Buster, Keyser or Mrs Keyser didn't beat me to this thread. Long story short - Yesterday Neil came round to help me transport wheels around (As it's a bugger fitting ANYTHING in a Zed) to get to the Zed shed. We arrived, got the tyres no problem. Buster then advised us to go to a place where he used to work to get the tyres put on as most garages are shut on a Saturday, and also not a lot of garages like putting 2nd hand tyres on a wheel that they have not supplied. Anyway, we arrive and find out the manager was on holiday, and no one there would touch my wheels Panic mode kicked in, @*!# where will I find a tyre place open on a saturday at 3pm to fit some tyres... Luckily we drove around an industrial estate, found tyre land, and they did it with out any fuss! I was finally stress relieved, all problems gone, can go back and get my new shiny wheels on. Went back to the Zed shed, jacked it up, wheels came off, Keyser picks up the new wheels.... Grundy, have you checked to see if these clear the Brembo's? 'Course I have Chris, it will be fine, don't worry! ' So apparently they do not clear the brembos We got a 25mm spacer of the wall and tried it with that, the wheel now clears the Brembos, however the wheel now sticks out at least 2inches from the Arch. Chris was straight on the phone to Buster for suggestions, the only 2 comments we got were - They'd fit on Netti's car with JDM brakes, and then spent the next 30mins laughing, untill he arrived at the Zed shed to laugh some more. All in all, there is no way the wheels are going on the car as it is at the moment. There's a few options to solve this... 1. - Get different Wheels. 2. - Get different Front Wheels 3. - Down grade to JDM Brakes 4. - Add a @*!# load of stretch to the front tyre 5. - Super top secret method. The only options I'm taking into consideration are 2 and 5. I love these wheels too much to part with, so they are staying! I'd be stupid to downgrade my brakes. I'd be stupid to stretch my tyres well to the extent of making up for 2 inches. I'd don't have any images of this situation as I was busy crying in the corner. But someone will be along to brighten your day! But a big thanks to the Fam-a-lar yesterday for comforting me over the situation and helping me do this
  8. Lovely pics, this is something I want to get done on my car, I'm sure it will be more beneficial than a re-map!

  10. The noise is determined on what the material of the pipe leading from the filter it is.
  11. Chop chop, what about the ones you linked me on FB?
  12. 265/40/18's I'll be able to go to a 275 if I lower it. and 285 With more camber. That's surprising. Has it just got a big offset then as it sticks out a fair bit from the arch? Loving the stretched tyre look btw. :lol; Offset is +8 I do like stretch, but I'm swaying towards what buster wants, with a fully flush arch without stretch. But right now, I'm so happy with them, just need to do what stevo says now and lower it.

  16. So, rear wheels are on.....LOOK ****ing AMAZING!!!! Do you want to wait till tomorrow to see them all on, or tonight with just the rears?
  17. Awesome and mate. By the looks of it, we'd get a bigger turnout on a GP day. What would be looking at to make that happen?
  18. I feel like if we don't get lost this year, I'm going to be missing a lot This whole getting lost business seems the talk of the century
