Lovely hose reel Graeme - that is my new wallpaper on my PC. Glad the wheels where as they were descibed to me

Paul getting me mixed up with Vic I am a 6ft2 115kg funny looking balding ginger with glasses - he is a medium height muscly asian.

I have not machined my wheels (et20) but have integrated brake bell in the adaptor (8mm thick). With a 235mm (239 tread width) I have about 7mm clearance to my coilover spring (2.5" leda unit). I have popped the rivets on the front guard to chassis and inserted 20mm plates (this helps to line the front bumper up anyway and pump the front on the arch for clearance on turn in). I have cut the crap out of the archs but I think it is still going to rub with the toe I want to run.

Now I am thinking machine 5mm off the wheel face and going to 215 (219 tread width) tyres on the front. This will make it et25.

I will post some good pics and measurements as I go for a good guide getting big wheels under 3dr fronts.
