i am so getting 9j haha! they sit bang on in those arches

those rears are an awesome fit,,think they suit down to the ground and I'm not a big lover of them normally.

thanks for you comments, I'm desperate to get it back on the road now sick of driving that mondeo!

I'm putting the camber shims on soon but I'm also going to order some 3mm or 4mm wheel spacers for the rear because if I'm putting an extra 1.5 degrees of camber (max) i still want the stretch of the sidewall close to the arches its pretty anal and no-one will really notice but I'm still going to do it :lol:

looks spot on mate :-D

cant wait to get a fex pics done maybe try next week

i want to see these powerlooks on!!

so do i but haven't got round to that yet

thanks mate

yeh the fronts are 8j et20 with a 185-45-15s

dunno why but for some reason that looks more stretched then other 185/45's on 8j's i've seen lol

even tho thats a nice amount of stretch, but seeing as i want to run mine as low as poss i still think that will rub too much as thats why i've sort of decided to just go for some 165/50 on my 8j's lol

the 185s aren't massively stretched but it was enough to eliminate alot of scrubbing but its the 195s on the 9j on the back which have more stretch

if you look under this car it wont go much lower it already catches on the subframe

it will go plenty lower.

it will go plenty lower.

yeh you can go lower on 13s obviously but on 15s i think it may be a struggle but it all depends on et and width of wheels and if you are going for tuck or poke, my subframe does catch the floor on occasion which is never nice

Looking sweet matey!

Not seen you around for ages.....and now i know why! lol

Well worth the wait! :D
