How much modification is needed to make this work? anyone know? it definently looked AWESOME!

 

thats ant's (3drbadboy )old car off here.pm him, he is a very helpfull bloke.

 

Heres mine, you can get them to fit with coilovers for sure. The front is the problem and if you use a et35 wheel and 215/35 tyres you may get away without the coilovers and a small drop with koni's

 

Does the search button not work??

 

thanks guys!
Lammb Chops, have you modded the wheelarches in any way on your car?

 

Oh, I forgot my real answer...
I had to mod the front arches, but then again, I had 225 35 18's. Coilovers and 35 offset. The backs were fine and was using 245 35 18 with 30 offset. Yeah, little rub here and there but nothing to big, just no pie eaters in the back seats.

 

No I have managed to avoid modding the front arches so far. The wheels haven’t been on that long and she’s tucked away now so not given it a good chuck around yet. I have coilovers so if it rubs I will raise it a little. Oh and my wheels are et30 so stick out further so it’s more of an issue.

My tyres are 215/35 which i would recommend for clearance but the ride does suffer

 

slam it 600mm on 12s man!12s are massive! no realy go for 18s!

 

I asked about this and was told not to bother doing it if i want the car to handle!

 

I can tell you that a lot of people will say that, but they run rubber bands for tires. I loved my car on the 18's and I really didn't feel that it hurt the handling that much, you feel it very slightly but not enough to make you not do it. I'll hope to go again for 18's soon.

Is Ant's car on the new MO's.

 

I would agree with that, im going to change my rears for a 225's to help it out a little.

 

I8"wheels on a 3 dr im still thinking about it

Got to put my coilovers on very soon>????

Wonder what it will handle like with standard wheels and coilovers

 

I would think twice about fitting coilover Mike unless you need them for bigger wheels. I put them on my old saff and the ride seem bouncy, didn’t want them for the 3door but these wheels meant I had to up front, it defo makes for a more uncomfortable ride.

Maul Ant's car was on the comps, the ones which replaced my model but not the latest ones.

 

But did the car handel better with the coilovers on ????
Im not worried about ride comfort

 

COILOVERS ARE YOUR ANSWER MATE

 

Hello Mike, just seen your question!! better late than never though eh, I dont think it does really no.

 

Im still in 2 minds on what to do?
Do i keep the the koni or put on the coilovers that are in my garage

If i decide to get bigger alloys my mind will be made up for me!!

I fancy having a bit of a change this year its looked like this for the best part of 6 years
