Tyres have arrived, Shitty Link have partially redeemed themselves. Appointment tomorrow first thing at my local caring independent tyre place

"I'm working, how dare you come into my workplace without an appointment!"

I bet he doesn't know if he's coming or going..............

+1 - yeah, best you copy SpursMadDave - great idea of his

Tyres should arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed though City Link are delivering and so far this Chrimbo they've been pants!!! If they do turn up tomorrow, they'll be fitted and the new wheels on the car on Friday, thank you Santa Found a set of Brembo's today and ordered them too, just have to decide Blue with Silver logo or vice versa

Welcome

Background noise should not be an issue when the a car is parked with the roof up Bad dealer

There ain't enough scampi in the world for that to happen There probably hoping for a light dusting of snow to blame it on Too many people in this country want to do a pi@@ poor job and expect to be paid over the odds for it and then be entitled to a pension that will ruin us all!!! I think I am going to stowaway with doogyrev and maybe work as his Chauffeur in Canada, he could pay me in scampi

I thought that as I typed it but then thought no, can't be bothered to change it, should have know young Hugh would've picked up on it!! Why oh why is she icing bin bags ?

Ooooooooo, gauges from Latvia, how very continental

Mrs glrnet went shopping today, 11 miles away, and couldn't get custard, cream, icing for the cake or bin bags. And before anyone asks yes she did go to a supermarket

Thought I'd do that with the tyres which I ordered today You mean you haven't wrapped up the new wheels as a present from you to her for you Missed a trick there

Blimey, you know how to show a girl a good time!!! Mrs glrnet would have put the loo seat or anything else for the "house" over my head HARSH! maybe ----- but last year I bought her a new loo seat guess who was fitting it and then doing decorating and all other manner of stuff of xmas day, boxing day etc

Welcome Ebized in Epsom, Will350z Guildford, I'm in Dorking, welcome to the SE Posse

Ideally without spacers Stew. Ben at Rare Rims says that they brought these wheels in with these offsets particularly with the Zed in mimind so I'm leaning that way at the moment. Vred's are my tyre of choice after reading Colin's recent review and I'll probably go 275/45 and 245/35. Hopefully this will allow the addition of small spacers if required Is Martin at MW back trading now? It might be worth PM'ing Ben as he expressed an interest in attending some Forum meets next year and I said I'd pass this on

Thanks Ian, Blue Brembos most likely

Wheelie Jim, you have to stop this!!! .............got to scrape some pennies together for rubber now And find somewhere with them in stock

Thanks Chris Get on a tyre size calc site. Stick in the OEM tyre size and then the new tyre size and compare. You want to aim as much for as little difference as possible. http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm Front: 660mm - 225/45/18 (OEM) 654mm - 245/35/19 (New wheel) 6mm difference or 0.91% Front: 678mm - 245/45/18 (OEM) 675mm - 275/35/19 (New wheel - stretched a bit?) 682mm - 285/35/19 (New wheel - not stretched?) 3mm difference or 0.44% OR 4mm or 0.59% respectively for 275 and 285 Sorry I was refering to the "most members" bit. Agreed that your tyre sizes are fine, thats what I said in my first reply, that you dont have a problem as your tyres sizes are fine. The point I was making was to the OP and that you cant blindly put 40 profiles on, you need to understand the relationship first, which no one has explained. People usually come unstuck by not understanding this and just swapping tyres willy nilly

**My Chrimbo present to me** After much searching I finally decided on these wheels. I have to say thank you for the patience and help from CS and Ben at Rarerims for my endless stream of tiresome (no pun intended) questions. Anyone as uneducated as me in the wonderful world of wheels would do well to talk to either of these companies. Today I collected these beauties from Rarerims and will post more pics when I get them on the car. They are Linea Corsa's 19 x 8.5 offset ET15 Fronts 19 x 10.0 offset ET20 Rear

Flooded with orders translates into what new mods are you going to spend it on!!? We missed you guys yesterday, Joy even remembered to bring Ann Marie's pink head band with her

Welcome
