If you're ordering new wheels, can't you order ones that fit? As in, with a more appropriate offset?

Either you're psychic, or he's already mentioned it and I blindly looked past it

Lol genuine win!

But then you need camber correction arms, else you'll be running on just a tiny part of the tyre and chew through them really quickly. I thought you had the correction arms on yours matey? No, only mild drop in Tein springs, fitted by Abbey MS and alignment corrected to within factory parameters Ah, okay. I'm guessing your wheels fit a little better though MCook, what offset are they?

WOT NO MPSS

Oh god they're even worse

Like I said, I do like the style and the fronts are fine, it's the rears that look silly. As Payco said, you really needed to do the body first I think. I'm no expert, but can you even roll the arches that much to cope with those? Genuine question, it's not something I get into.

That looks daft mate, sorry. You don't need rolled arches, you need wheels that fit. I mean, they're a nice style and all (and I normally don't like aftermarket wheels), but they look like Lego toy wheels like that.

I've never had it done to me, but then I'm not that stupid as to walk by a bloody great puddle in the road when there's cars coming! I would hope that if I ever am so dense, and I do get a soaking, I'm able to laugh it off with the same intensity that I'm sure the driver of the car will be. I may or may not have done it a couple of times, and the reactions of the people has been absolutely priceless: The classic open-mouthed cape-wearing pose

GLOL :lol:

Fixed penalty? It's worse than that, you can be done for careless driving, so that's properly endorsable. Splashing pedestrians is morally and legally wrong. It's also bloody hysterical.

Any reason you're not just going to wait until you've got the wheels sorted first before putting these on? Also, surely you don't have the spacers already? Mate, I appreciate you're excited about these, but just have a little patience and you'll be so much better off

It's your router again Stevo

Me too.

That mock-up by some random is from 2013!!!

That's not right Col: 10w40 is exactly the same viscosity as 5w40 when warm, it's just thicker from cold.

Sadly not, I think if I do go it'll have to be later in the year. House purchase is stopping all fun at this point.

An answer can only be as good as the question

Easy to get hold of another one, Nissan sell them for about £15 each. There's only a few combinations, just take your car to them and get them to order you the right one. Well worth having a spare at home, I promise you!

It's needed to get any wheel off, have a flick through the manual so you know what to do when you get a flat tyre at 3am in the pouring rain

The missus was the first to point it out, so I felt less bad about staring from then on

It is, yes. An Australian one, too.

Then I accept your lack of knowledge as reasonable I'd make sure that it is the right one for your car, just pop outside and see if it fits the locking nut, better to know before you need it... /VOE

Two seconds later, flat on arse
