Default Comp CXN

Once the car goes off the road for the winter i will be purchasing a set of these in 17" for my 3dr but wanting to know what widths are the best for the car so that cutting is prevented.

I will be fitting coil overs on all corners so what tyres can i get away with??

I'm curious to know what sizes their running on this car as this identical to the track i'm wanting




Does anyone know of anyone selling a set??

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Chris.

You can get them off the Compomotive website. No price though, they look good and expensive I should imagine Brammer.

if you want the same offset as the photos you'll need to trim the inside of the kit. if you look at the photos you can see its been done to that car.

if your going to put them on yours please dont do the normal 3dr gay offset thing..

speak to martin@reyland, he's a comp dealer and he'll be able to talk you through the sizes.

Cool man, they do em up to 12in wide, badass.

I want a set.

What kind of cash they go for?

Obv id want at least 10in wide front and rear, but even prices for slightly lesser width if anyone know would give me a rough idea.

Clear the inside ok, just arch mods that were required, metal and also plastic cutting needed. Ive got a few pics of them in the old gold colour fitted but it was before it had any arch mods done so it's sitting very high.

Depends which image rim....cast or billet. Also their website is plus vat iirc? The BBS rims now owe me around 2.5k inc tyres excluding arch modding

I spoke to Reyland about the CXN's and depending on the price of alloy they'll be around Ł1500-1600 and i think i am going to fit the same size as Paul's 500

7.5 x 17 fronts with 205 / 50 /17
8 x 17 rears with 215 / 40 /17

This way the trimming the arches isn't needed which suits me
