        put the 225/35s on the front and 225/40s on the rear.
        front arch isnt touching tyre now so when i have time ill drop it a few mm more, until i get hold of an arch roller and some more hucentrics.

        still not sure on the amber corners. need to get a new bumper too after some heavy curb damage.

            put another 10mm spacer on the front now making it effectively et35 (225.35.18 8.5j)


            the highest point is around 22 7/8

                  Not very constructive is it?

                  OP, you got some good progress going, I think it would look great with some amber indicators, the clear ones look a bit lost on the car.

                      i swapped the ambers over when we did the wheels, they just made it look odd. the amber and black were a nice combo, and now i feel the clear and silver suit each other more.
                      Thanks.
