Trial fit wheels

Featured Replies

Starting to come together, 135/70 @ ET45 up front, 155/70 @ ET38 at the rear.

Took her for a vigorous test drive and apart from lighter steering, all seems well for now, though admittedly a pointless test as the whole car will change again once the front is lowered 80mm (which as you can see, needs doing)

Comments and critics welcome!

Cheers ;) That's the part that's frustrating right now, lowering can't happen quickly enough!

i'm same front was done months ago still waitin for back doin :x

wen u slam it, gna look sweet

why such stupidly thin tyres?

why not?

different to the usual overly big tyres

lolll have fun on wet roundabouts, understeeeeeeeeeer looks like your running 2 space savers haha

If you've got GT Coupe steels why not go for 165/65/13s'?

Well, the standard tyres I took off when I bought the car 2 years ago were 135/80, and since my driving style hasn't changed since then, I can't imagine i'll have any problems grip wise :-)

In regards to wet roundabouts, how on earth does anyone manage to lose control on a roundabout wet or dry if they adhere to the speed limit? Whatever tyres they have? I've never ran anything wider than 155's and the car hasn't even flinched!

Also, I haven't fitted my GT steels on the rear yet, still undecide whether I prefer them to the mk3 steels on there now, we'll see ;)

Thanks for all the comments so far!
