Hi DUTCHCRUNCH!

Not ignoring your request for posing some photo's of my new wheels, but we seem to have a 'technical' error and my membership is still not registering. Jennifer is on the case though i will post some pictures as soon as i can...

regards

Hi Keven,

looking forward to the pictures, thanks

Christer - I'd be curious to know the measurements of the 18" wheels you got on (width/offset) and if you needed new stops or spacers. I have been toying with going 17" or 18" once I ditch my D90's but thought 18's were not recommended - or would be too much of a pest to get to fit properly

Curious to know what you've go to fit.

Thanks....Marc

I believe Christer means the GT1 Veloce wheels sizes 8.5x18 et 50
10x18 et56

I have these wheels and to stop them hitting stuff on my car I had to roll front fenders and strech and roll rear fenders and fit rear 22mm spacer.

and I'm running 2 deg F and 3 deg R neg camber

Sounds like they'd be more work than I'd like to undertake -- maybe I'll go 17"

Was the et 50 up front enough room on the inside? What tire size are you using up front?

With the 6mm stops fitted and running 235/45 tyres there is rub on the inside at lock. Even with the fenders rolled enthusiastic driving on bumpy surfaces with lock on also catches the fender edges to the degree that it's taken the paint off.
Car is lowered to Euro RS running uprated suspension.
