How much have you got to spend on them?

97poloCL · Post by **97poloCL** » Wed May 06, 2009 7:44 am

I'm sure I can save up for them.. Will be worth it. Got any good sites for nice bits like aerials, grills, clear indicators etc?

Try Bell insurance also mate, they're good with young drivers and modifications

i got quoted 1100 from them with coilies, rims and exhaust after 1 year no claims..and 4200 for the exam same thing from adrian flux lol.. it's like a lottery tbh!

on another note, i went to check out the ATS this morning and tried one on...

really liking them

)

thats what theyve got atm..not sure i want that much strech really :S

Tim_GTi · Post by **Tim_GTi** » Sun May 10, 2009 3:43 pm

185/45s then maybe?

97poloCL · Post by **97poloCL** » Sun May 10, 2009 3:59 pm

sounds allright.. sorry for sounding 'special' but how does the 2nd number affect the tyre?
and when i fitted them i think they come outta the wing a little bit, is that road legal or is it just the tyre which has to be within the wing? if its just the tyre will i get away with a bit of stretch to get it under?

EDIT: they might've been just on the edge of the wing..

something like that maybe? looks spot on tbh

struggling to find anything on ebay or anywhere cheap etc..
also the rims are 7", so 178mm, does that mean i'd need tyres with 175mm or less?
tyres confuse me like hell!!

if it helps, original wheels came with 175/65/13
