Saw them on ebay always wanted some , got them and the car hadn't even been on the road for years lol. That started it all off again for me.



8j et40 I think, 235 rear 215 fronts had to shim the front 3mm to clear the gaz gold shock bodies but they would clear stock size shocks. Pic above has camber correction shims fitted on the rear, pushed the top out at least 15mm.

just found some pics of my old moostone went through a few choices on that as well pic one is the what they look like although powercoated in white now.
Hocks on the moonstone are the wolfrace silverstones although you can only get in a 7.5j they work well

i like the Lenso BSX wheels and also the Calibre wheels - will be a hard choice for me betweent hem two - they would look the tits if diamond cut like the original 3dr wheels - for that i think the BSX would be better as the spokes are flat whereas the Calibre bend in towards the rim

All depends on what brakes you want to run on the front ideally as i dont think the Calibre or Lenso's will give much clearance for 330mm brakes - which is why i have gone for hocks on the 3dr otherwise i would have kept the standard 3dr cossie alloys on it.

Anyone what size brakes you can run on the Calibre and BSX alloys?
