Wheels finally fitted after ages

Post by samil87 »

Finally got the wheels on after setback after setback i think they look great but the car definately needs lowering now but cant afford that at the moment...looking at either a 60/60 or 40/40 kit

60/60 will definately look better but 40/40 for practicality

wha dya rekon 60/40 will look like?

sorry 4 the poor quality pics

Deffo go for 60/60 mate. 40/40 will still leave you sitting miles above the wheels.

60/60 won't be impractical, when you get to triple figures on 14s is when you worry!

Dam that does need lowering.....and i still think you should go more than 60mm. It will look good with 60 but will look awesom with say 80 or so. I'm prob about 85mm with the reiger splitter and thats the only thing iv got that catches the deck, a few times on speed bumps and a few times on steep inclines, but just go really slow and it wont harm the car at all. I don't really gice a s**t if it catches anyway as its only ever the bottow of the splitter which you dont see :lol:

Yeh but your car will no doubt sit slightly lower due to you being on 15's etc eh?
