Fooked if i can get them to fit properly without a major re-design of the rear suspension as the 8j rears are catching the coil overs
So they are going to have to go and are advertised in the correct section of this board
What next then? The Rondells are on Ebay and i might have to pull them off or be wheel less for Beds Kin cars can't live with them can't live without them

I don't need the money from the Rondells to buy new wheels mate although i don't want to have several sets of alloys litering-up the place either! Those comps are 18's are they not? even so i don't like them they look like an rl7 that lost a spoke in the manufacturing process
Might just get some 16's and have done with it

Not fussed mate as long as they are between 40 and 33!

Think the brakes are the issue here..i.e a wheel which will allow them!
