New wheels - yay!

Post by Howlin_Mad »

Picking them up this weekend. Can't wait :clapping:

I've been after some wheels like Mark & Lynn have on their rev 3 tubby - wanted them since i perused Driftworks and saw them on there, along with the car in the flesh. Rota Torque GTR, but after Matt gave me a heads up i've secured a deposit on these and pick them up Saturday :D

Probably my favourite wheels ever :clapping:

17" 8J & 9J - ET is 42 so will need some spacers/longer studs, but they are going to finish off the V6 perfectly :th:

Just hope i can get them all in the passenger side of the Auto with the seat out!!

I've done 4 x 16" rims before in the Auto before with the seat in, and seen 4 x 17" wheels with tyres in an MR2 with the seat out. Should be fine, i'll take the space saver out to try and whack one in there too if needs be.

Only 200 mile round trip!

Kiz, I'm pretty sure you will need spacers on ET42 8" front wheels.
Reckon you'll be getting some points using those tyres on the road. ;)

Very nice!

Seriously liking those tyres too!

I could have transported them up for you as I am visiting Nathan (MrTwos) on Friday, but alas I have a passenger.

She wouldn't be best pleased with them on her lap :laughing

Cant wait to see them on the V6 :cool1:

Cheers chaps :th:

Tony - don't think they'll be road legal :whistling: Spacers will be needed front deff and poss rear - trying to get them out to 32-35, will see what is available.

Chicane - your seal of approval is very worthy indeed :clapping:

Pete - up yours :th: :laughing

Ian - i can't either! Won't be on fully for a good 3 months, but will get pics up for a test fit, thats for sure :th: :D
