Default FAO Gadget ..... Rolling on 20's

Just want to say a massive thank you to Gary and hats off for been a genuine member of the board. Would have been nice to shake your hand on these at the very least mate (been a hell of a long time since I got the RL7s off you). For anyone that didnt see it, gadget put a free to good home in the alloy wheel section for 2 20" Jag rims. Picked them up today and couldnt wait to try them on the max. F*** me, they look bang on. There close, especially on the front but they have just dropped straight on, no spacers or anything ( I think Jag offset is 52 where cmax is 49). Just need two more now to complete the set. Gonna get them done in anthracite. Really cant thank Gary enough, as per earlier if theres anything I can ever help with, feel free.
Few pics




Bit close to front shock but a miss is as good as a mile






Bit of rubbing after a quick drive over bumps etc. Nothing to worry about I dont think.

Give it a clean up and take some more pics... they look great and tie in with the grey trim on the car really well.


Cheers,
Grant

Dont see much point mate, it cant go any lower with them on, well maybe half an inch but the trouble of getting some coilovers for it really arent worth it, it'll never be driven in anger so stock gear will be fine.

just need two more now unless I run it drag car style

Hi Mate,
Didn't realise it was you when you text!
Think it's about 8 years ago you got the RL7's from me!
I'll keep my eyes out for another 2 for you!
