going to get hold of some 17s next pay check so this will be the last pic on these wheels.
10j rears I'll end up ruining the stance but I'll give it a go.
ordered the 17s like 2 weeks ago and finally arrived this thursday -
also ordered a new front grill holder as mine is shot
got dish??
straight to my tyre man to get the 255 and 235 ripped off and binned then i couldnt resist having a sneaky look how they sit, this is with 3* camber
the 215.35.18 8j im currently running:
and finally one all cleaned up
they appear to have polished lips once upon a time but neglect has left them looking tired and old, so ill be refurbing them before getting tyres fitted.
specs: front 17x8j et 10. rear 17x10j et17. tyres will be 195.40.17 front and 215.40.17 rears.
should be more updates this weekend
once theyre done im deploying to Jordan for 2 months and leaving the car with a friend to do a few little jobs.
thanks for looking
then after driving a few miles and hearing strange noises discovered the rim lip was hitting the arch lip on full compression.
bugger. So went to see my mum and have a think, was watching her dog fussing over some little toy and though WOW thats what i need, a bump stop:
so stole the toy off the dog (thanks Sofi) and went and but it inside the rear spring
and it worked! win! no more arch lip contact happy days.
more pics tomorrow as i reconstruct my rotten rear arches.
over 10 years messing with cars and i have not once seen a coilover adjuster in the top of a spring.
little update from yesterdays wheel arch day:
arch/lip contact
and thats its now. until August
im off to a sandy place to run about like action man so the car is getting left with a friend do a colour change, im thinking Atlantis blue, remove spoiler and wheels polsihed/purple or dark silver centres
Thanks for comments and looking
