If I was to guess John, I think Sonic Boom's wheels are ET33 on 215/45/17 tyres.

Good choice on tyres too, hope you still got other wheels and road tyres for everyday use though

Sorry mate, that last message was directed at John, coz you can't drive around on R888's every day But at least I was right on the offset

Whoops read it as one whole thing.
I put a 10mm spacer on the rears to bring the offset out to ET23 just fills the arches better.

Wow! Been a while since this was updated, but that's because John's been too busy building the car....and engine's on the side for annoying people

Loads of pics and specs to come, but here are 2 teasers

You guys are in for a big surprise! The car is near completion, hopefully I'll be able to spare a lot of time...kicking John's ass in gear! But my annoying lump of a motor is out of the way, so finishing the 3dr won't take as long as expected. Woop woop!!!
