[scoobyjoe2007]

very nice dossie....

what size are they.....

 

[evoman]

Lovely wheels lad. They look great.

 

[dossie01]

@ scoobyjoe, they are 18s but look a little bit lost in the arches.

They are Colmbarrs old wheels!

 

[tommy 555]

[Kielyb4]

Makes the car look much nicer

 

[Scooby Stew]

Lookin good

 

[gtpeadar]

Savage!! Looks way better

 

[Rob Spec C]

million times better, look great, they are my favourite wheels .. Shame they don't fit over he brembos

 

[collieno]

You wasted no time getting them on anyway, they look good! They fit ok?

 

[dossie01]

@ collieno, they fit like a dream. Put wide ones on rear and others on front, will get tracked tomorrow

 

[forester sti]

Hold on,
Are you running the same sized tyres front and back??
I like the wheels,
Higher profile tyres and/or lowering springs would sort your "lost in the arches" issue!
Well done!
Dan

 

[dossie01]

@ dan, fronts are 215/35/18, rears are 235/40/18, actually gives ita touch meaner look, thats the way i got them though, will change the fronts when they go to the markers

 

[colmbarr1988]

look well dude glad u got sorted

 

[chris139ryan]

they look the part lad

 

[Altezza-Dan]

U probably wouldn't want to lower it more than 40mm on 235/40/18 r u might have some rubbage of the arch liner

 

[DUFFMAN]

they look great welldone man

you would want to change either of the types very soon doh or you be looking at a new diff

As Johnny said, the centre diff or rear diff will give issues with running differnet diameter tyres front and rear. I'd recommend changing one of them, probably fronts to keep the wider tyres all round

 

[Hammie]

Bloody hell!!! Thats some transformation they are after givin the car!!!!
They look lost BUT still 10000000000000 times better than the origional wheels!
Get your tyres sorted asap before ya cause the diffs issues and maybe a set of 35mm lowering springs!!!!!

(If Orla gives ya hassel in work tell her to talk to me lol)

 

[dossie01]
