New wheels - yay!
Picking them up this weekend. Can't wait
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
Probably my favourite wheels ever
17" 8J & 9J - ET is 42 so will need some spacers/longer studs, but they are going to finish off the V6 perfectly
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.

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
Cant wait to see them on the V6

Cheers chaps
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
Pete - up yours
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
