Seing as we are talking about Bean-tins, I think 225/45/16 might be a little excessive, especially for track/sprint, you C'ock.

So theres more chance of fitting 225/45/17's on then? Or perhaps 225/40/18? Could you fit those on yours?? Er, I doubt it. So who's asleep?

Since when has an RST been better off with a wheel wider than 7"??

Well, as you said 'Missus', I felt it was a fairly safe assumption to make.

Cypriot wanker thankyou very much

And its nowt to do with Craig David actually Sir Elton, it came from Allesandro DelPiero in the 1998 WorldCup, in a pissed up "I bet i fookin can do me sideys like that within a week" type argument

Anyway, still think it well rude bringing peoples birds into arguments...
