Good choice of rims mate, always liked them! Did you go for a staggered set?
Sorry John not to sure what you mean by staggered if you mean are the rears wider there not mate there 8's all round
Evening chaps just wanted to give a bit if an update got the stretched Tyres fitted to the new rims today and I think they look fit bolted one on the rear and they sit perfect and it looks like I could drop the car 2-3" more from standard height and the rims still don't really hang outside the arches so no mods to the body kit look needed only downer at the moment is I need to now by some 5mm spacers as the inner of the wheel spoke catches the brake caliper so when I get some spacers I'll get some good pics also still waiting on 3 spigot rings to turn up
And secondly I have heard that the engine is pretty much complete and will be ready to collect this saturday or next Saturday
I'll uploads some **** pics tomorrow of the wheel on the car
Good news they fit, can save up and buy the wheels i've been eyeing up for a while now.. Would of had the money, but some c u next tuesday keyed my Audi, so I've had to put it in the body shop to get a few bits done to the tune of £500
**** sorry to hear that dave just remember next time you catch up with them run um over failing that use the old school punishment and cut there f***ing fingers offGood news they fit, can save up and buy the wheels i've been eyeing up for a while now..

Cant wait till you get this little beast back on the road
I've got some spacers Phil, pretty sure they are 5mm, I only have 2 though from memory.. I plan on making the Surrey meet so will bring them if you want them.
Cheers steve but like a d**k I have ordered 4 today before reading your reply

Phil, wheels look good
just had this little puppy arrive today so hoping to drop the box down tonight to a very nice rtoc member to fit and do a bit of a box rebuild for me
Phill looks awesome love the wheels. What they like on the front on full lock? Defo need to drop the rear tho. Don't yajust love it when big metal things come in the post
they look tight. get some pics up when its out the garage
Very nice mate, they 7.5s? Havnt looked at your thread for a while
Mate there is loads of room I think it's the bad picture when it's ready I'll take some better ones of it outside for youthey look tight. get some pics up when its out the garage
Hi ya ben no there 8's all round and I think I can afford to by even bigger spacers to bring them out more to make it look even more like a reem machineVery nice mate, they 7.5s? Havnt looked at your thread for a while
Been over and dropped the box off tonight to Matt codered a very nice helpful chap with lots of goodies and the owner of a sweat valver especially under the hood trying to get Matt and a few of his locals to come and meet up with the rest of the Crew for the fete meet in june
CoolHi ya ben no there 8's all round and I think I can afford to by even bigger spacers to bring them out more to make it look even more like a reem machine
had a play around with the wheels last night trying to get them to fit without failing anything fronts straight on no probs no catching and no rubbing but with the rears out came the grinder as i needed to shave the pad carrier down slightly as they were catching on the inner of the spokes
will get some better pics through the week when the car is out the garage
few more pics
last ones also felt like crying last night as i dropped one of the wheel bolts and took a small bit of laquer of the lip of the wheel
looking gooood!!!
the wheels are superb!
which and dimension?
Hi mate thank you the wheels are Schmidt modernlines and they are 8" wide by 15"'s tall 4 by 100 centres and have an off set of et25the wheels are superb!
which and dimension?
rolled the car out the garage today just to turn it around to work on the other side during the week, so took some pics of the car with the rims on still think if i want to be cheeky i could still space them out more to get them out the arches a bit more ill see in due time would you agree the ride hight looks spot on

Phil mate your 5 looks much better with them wheels on it
Really don't know yet mate as I think 50mm at the front or all round things will start getting battered which I don't want so maybe 30-40mm at the front and may do the same at the back but I have always liked the back at standard and then just drop the front morePhil mate your 5 looks much better with them wheels on it
Dont bring the wheels out any further, they sit fine.
