haha i need dish!! as they are custom 3 piece the barrels are only 6" so the rears will have 6" of purrrre dish

they need to make the OEM rears look feeble and skinny!

[Tim_GTi]

What kind of tyre would you require for them then?!

[shantybeater]

No idea lol! the standard rears are 9" which run 245/40/17. I plan on a bit of stretch but not too much

[BIG RHYS]

Just had a little read and 12J rears goin be insane .. cant wait to see them on the car

[shantybeater]

Cheers rhys, i've got a fair bit of work to do to them before they are fitted

Over the period of a few weekends I've been giving the car a real good going over inside and out including engine bay/boot etc..

Here's a few pics









My rubber aerial grommet, looks so much better! simple things !



Also a teaser pic before I polish the wheels up :



Any guesses?

[Tim_GTi]

Looking good.

LMs?

[shantybeater]

Bingo well done Tim

Here's one after a bit of polishing:





Custom 3 piece 19x8.5" LM's ET9&13 with Image/Schmidt 2.5" Lips & 6" Barrels

The current lips have too many holes (because they are originally for Image/Schmidt rims) but the new ones will be drilled with the right number, if I decide to make use of the current lips on the front i'll use the inserts from fake LM's, I doubt they will fit because of the low offset though.

If anyone has any standard 19" LM's and wants more dish & a low offset for the rear drop me a PM as i'm after two standard barrels to get a high offset up front.

Already on the shopping list: 5.5" lips for the rear to make 11.5's and new bolts all round
