Hi sti9, Im looking at fitting exactly the same size tyres and wheels as u got fitted and was wondering if u fitted spacers and if there was any rubbing on full lock when they were on, if not is it just a matter of chopping away the arches and fit the wheels straight on.


Cheers in advance bud

No spacers fitted but you could if you want to go that bit wider. And no problems with rubbing if using a good set of coilovers ��

Any chance of a pic of our wheels and tyres? I would be interested in seeing the size of the tyre wall as its the same size setup im thinking of.

No harm to anyone else, but those arches look perfect on that motor as they are.

They make it look aggressive.

Lovely looking, was thinking 265 for My type R as I dont like the German look but 255 looks fine.

That's gorgeous matey fair play to you, and thanks for the info. So as your saying there is enough offset for them not to be catching the struts and are they 9.75j all round too?
