Hiya, im thinking of changing the rims on my 3dr for some Arospeed RS-GT's. Can someone help with what sizes etc you can under the arches without having to cut ANYTHING away? I would be greatful if someone could stick some piccies up here of any White 3dr's with the rims on, and various colours. (im looking for the black ones probably). Also, where is the best place to get them from, and are they copies any good?

Cheers in advanc guys,
Mike.

 

Steve @ SCC runs these on his 3DR

Im sure he will post a few pics for you

 

cheers bud. Hope he can help. Has he got 17's or 18's?

Mike.

 

18's

 

I believe this is Steve's.....

Hope he doesnt mind me posting these





Think he got spacers for the rear since these pic's were taken too

 

Yep, thats Steve's at Nat Day this year, with mine next to it

 

raaaah. They are a lovely wheel on a 3dr IMO. did he have to do any work on the arches at all? Black piccies would be good too if anyones got some. Cheers.

 

Come to think of it,i think his are now black

 

Im sure Steve has now had them painted darker aswell

 

yeah i think they are cos i searched a few posts and they were completely black.
Mike. im mainly after info if they will go on without mods (17/18").

Mike.

 

Did somone mention me??????.......

7.5" x 18" ET45 RSGT's with 215/35 tyres....

3mm spacers on front and 20mm spacers on rear (pukka hubcentric 1's not cheap shat)

In silver......








In dark grey metalic.....









Had to make very slight mods to rear off side wheel arch (doesn't help being ET25 wit hspacers) and front off side bumper (was ok without spacers but had to run them due to 330mm AP brake kit which is also so tight I had to modify the caliper and run no dust cap due to clearance probs between dust cap and caliper)


Steve

 

im on standard brakes and everything else. So what offset would i need to buy? i really dont wanna have to be hacking arches out and stuff liek that cos the cars a bit too clean to do it, otherwise i would have no problem, lol.

Cheers for the pics mate.

Mike.

 

I recon you get away with anything between ET30-35 just depending on spring heights etc on 18's..... 17's won't be a problem

 

cheers matey.

Mike.

 

No probs mate.....

 

best place to get them from anyone?

Cheers
Mike.

 

boo hoo, anyone.

 

Well i got mine from a lad on here,Cossymad-He runs a shop and got a good price
