shouldnt scrub

nah wont rub... the et is 42... and they will have nice stretch so if anything i will need to space them lol and get my arches pulled and rolled for epicness!

but nah mate wasnt in st andrews I'm afraid been to kirkcaldy and glenrothes today thats about it :)

thats gonna be the stretch... to much or just right?

Nankangs look pretty bad stretched imo, the profile is really strange. only the sidewall stretches and not the tread pattern which makes it look quite weird!

yeah i agree with u there man.. i wish they made 175/40/16's would look that much better IMO none the less the nankangs are going to have to be the choice i make as there are no others that give it stretch to keep the lows :( apart from the 45's but not sure if i want them or not...

go for 45s dude!

think it would give them more of an edge dude?

the 40 is prob just overkill esp with the way sidewallls react on nankangs and 7.5j should help to take the edge off how aggressive the tyre wall looks

aye so that pics is 45 right? see I've now got 3 tyre choices :)

165/40

165/45

185/40

not to sure jsut yet but the 165/40 might be out the window tbh!

having 2nd thought on the wheels refurb choice... I'm thinknig of getting them powder coated white now... going to get one wheel done to see what i think!

i think polished still andy, i dont know if the white might kill them.

think the choice is powder coated white then the face diamond cut :) should look braw

gonna be rude when done those mon!

but that stretch above that chrispy has posted look crrrrraazy! is that the tyre size you are going for?

well I'm trying to get a hold of some 185/40's which my mate says he can so heres hoping if he can i will be running them but if not it will be 165/45's which are the ones chrispy posted above :) sexual... but scary lol

you have more cojones than me my friend for running stretch like that!

but will be uber sweet!

165-45

thinking so like...

right so tonight i was bored so thought i would crack on refubing the centres myself... I've only done one so far and i will admit its not exactly a spectacular job how ever not bad for doing it myself... still to do the outter ring yet! pics:

primed:

sprayed:

startin to put it back togeather:

as i say i still have the outter ring to do so atm it still looks like this:

cheers,

Andy

cheers,

andy

looking good pal

Love that.

On the tyre front have you tried Bridgestones? I got 165x50x15 put on my 7J rims, came to £210 fitted at my house.

cheers for the comments guys

I've got them tyres on my g60's the now.... had them on my ats cups to and had a nice stretch but the audi wheels are 16's thats the problem with finding a good tyre lol

done a proper trial fit today to see how much i woul want to space them...

so after that I'm thinking 20mm could be for the back and my 12's on the front...

thoughts?

also, one step further to my new seats going in... start my custom subframes very soon...

cheers,

Andy

right so since I'm not at UD and I'm workin in about 3 hours... i gave the car a good wash and a wee polish since i was bored... also got the g60 centre caps on eventully!:

cheers,

Andy
