I normally LOVE these wheels! and fronts look superb!

BUT the rear looks wanks in the pic? Wrong size tyres? offset or dish on wheel or something?

or maybe just a bad pic!?!?!?

MUCH better than the standard wheels anyway

lee, a lot is the angle of the photo i think, there not as far out as i would have liked, but i had to change this slightly as i didnt want to destroy my bodykit.

tyres on only 215's all round because of this

still a road car though so dont really need 245's, with pony stg 3 power.

Thats the problem them... stretched 215's one the rear of a decent width rim...

PONY!

Mate I have 275's on the back of the Boxster! and I have a food mixer with more power than that car.... so its not needed!

BUT IT LOOKS GOOD!!!

Sort it! Cut the body kit you FANNY! its a Ford not a 1950's one of a kind Ferrari!

Look forward to some more pics though!

Car looks lovely - however some fat rear tyres would never go a miss.

Given that Gay J and I get on fine and I abuse him (in a totally verbal way I would hasten to add* ) in real life as much as he does me, then I don't think I need to be brave to take the piss out of the old "Malteser" .

* He's usually too busy hanging out of the arse of "the one and only" anyway .

Are they 35 profile Ryan - still trying to work out which tyres to use on mine once I have built them up, I have a bit more space to play with with them being 17" so wanted a bit more sidewall but not sure if going to a 40 will be to balloonish in looks.

Also whats the width on yours front and back, I think mine will stick out more on the rear as they are 8.75 and I have not had the inners machined. Was aiming for 215 on the 8.25 fronts and 235 on the rear with a bit of trimming of the kit.

i dont like the way the centre bits stick out so much, they need to have a wider dish/lip and be further otu into the arches.
