i'm pretty sure they will struggle to go on because of the offset, doesn't help that there 18s also lol.
even if they did go on the'd ruin the handling and ride.

As above, there was a Blue Mk4 Cab with them at Lightwater Valley show the last time the North Yorks had a show there.

Silver with imperial blue inserts!

Fook knows how he done it as I'm a bit tight running 8x17 ET33 and the FRS rims will be a further 4.5mm inside the arch!!
