MartinGT Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 started prepping the car for detail so i decided while it was outside to stick the 20s on one side (hence it being a bit lopsided) to see how they looked, defo needs lowered i think.

GIXXERUK Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 lots of people on here dont like these and i have felt the wrath lookin the dogs danglies imo mate B) slight drop would be helluva drive way they're too heavy - too showy - face - bovvered - face - bovvered -wheels - bovvered - face - are you the stig - bovvered - face - bovvered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 yeah the drive and garage are handy i'm not 100% keen on them just now but i never am with new wheels! lowerering should help it alot, its just the rear tyres are huge, even though they're the same diameter as standard! ps. i cant say i really noticed the rays being light or the antera's being really heavy, ok they are heavier, but its not like night and day.

Andy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Really like the look of them mate!! If you're not sure about them now, then try them out for a bit and i'm sure they will grow on you!! 20's are the way forward...i'm sure Stuey will agree as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 just always been like that! you get so used to whatever wheels you're replacing then new ones always look odd, kinda like a new hairstyle! hopefully get new tyres on them tomorrow if they're in, the continentals on the rear with the rays are nearly worn out already, only put on 2 months ago, oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 you could go up to 40's on the front might not make the rear look so big ? i very rarely like anyhting i change on the car first off - have to live with it i think they look esp on the azure whats on the rear ? 275 ? they look a bit under tyred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGT Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 fronts are 255/30 rears are 285/30, getting fitted with 245/30 and 285/30. 285 is about the widest you can get with the right profile really, remember they're 11" rears!

GIXXERUK Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 35 on the front ? the side wall is a cross section of the width blah blah blah, so it will always look bigger, live with it mate, i'm sure you will get used to it 11" its nothing to brag about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmackfc Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Looking good Wait to you fit both sides and stick it on level ground before deciding to lower or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Looks great. Agree that it will possibly need lowering, but as has already been said you need to wait until it's on its new rubber before deciding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinGT Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 he has the eibach springs i'm looking at getting, as they're the lowest you can use without camber issues i heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 he has the eibach springs i'm looking at getting, as they're the lowest you can use without camber issues i heard. would look good with a 10mm drop on the front and 25 - 30 mm on the rear imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwave Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Very nice You guys dont make the buying process easy...everytime I think I might like this one witrh those wheels you go & stick some new pics with new bits under my nose & the whole plan changes...AGAIN!!!!! I may not return until I actually buy one at this rate because I dont think I'll ever make my mind up if I dont Anyway...get it lowered!!!!!

Sarnie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think only the rear needs lowering......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Looking at just that pic I think you may be right in just dropping the rear. Although could do a big ICE install with a 15" in the boot then you wouldnt need to worry about new springs/coilovers at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
