Pete
im telling you mate , that isnt how the new style are mate , they have supplied you with the wrong outers on the rear thats why they dont look right
the rears should have a 1" wider outer rim then they will sit right and look wider without tiughing the arches

looks very nice Pete i bet your well pleased!
btw you can run 9" rears with no mods IF you have the CORRECT off set and CORRECT tyres i know loads of people that say you need to trim the kit blah etc BUT thats what mine were and unless you were a fat bastard or had shite suspension they were fine.
I dont know why but i actually LOVED your car on the standard rims, I think thats because its sooooooooooo clean though.

Pete,
i bet your well pissed off now after all the comments.
its up to you how you want the car to look, is it better to order wheels that are deffo not going to rub or order wider wheels and then they might rub.
i don't think they look too bad, maybe like Lee has said, a bit wider on the back,i could do that with mine too lol.
hope you are still happy mate with them.

Pete
I have tried to help mate , If your not bothered then fair enough , but i honestly wouldnt be happy with them at all
They are not right end of story , I had the same delivered to me and when i sent them back they came back with wider rear outer rims and fitted perfect and looked as my black and white car above

Paul,
I spec'd the rear wheels based on criteria that Pete laid down, that being that there is no way the arches can be modded at all. With this in mind I chose the rears to have 1" outers (making them ET36) rather than the better looking 1.5" (ET24).
As Pete had said NO arch mods and given that one day he could have 4 people in the car there was no way that I could risk specifying the wider outers as he could (quite rightly) have rejected them based on his original requirements.
Pete is now happy to trim his arches if needed
and I'm going to see about swapping the rims for him. This is not a case of Compomotive giving Pete what they had in stock rather than what he should have had, its a case of me giving Pete what I thought he wanted/needed!

I have showed 2 cars of mine that have the wider rears with NO arch mods at all
I gave up dealing with compomotive due to the fact every time i ordered a set they were different
I always got what i asked for after sending them back but this is just stupid as they should make them how i asked in the first place
The outer rims are made overseas and not in house and IMHO if customers start to shout because they still havent got there wheels then they make them up with what they have in stock
Not you fault Martin , I have been there and got sick of the hassle with them

Love your car mate looks stunning, even better when spacer's are on.
Due to the fact CXN dont do a very wide dish I opted to go down the route of getting my brother to fit the RC090 splitrims to mine.
Its proving to be very difficult to get them to work with bigger brakes front and rear, and also had general clearance issue's.
Hope to be finished this week.
I love this wheel it looks really wide and stunning imo.
Heres a pic in progress

while you are sorting this out, can you sort a price out for me to buy the 1.5 rear outer rims,should be a straight swap i take it lol.

if for any reason comps dont have any larger outers in stock then this company has a full range of inners and outers and the prices are reasonable
