well as some of you might know i am waiting for my new alloys to arrive!

anyway i was borrowing my mates Lupo alloys but he needed the originals back (long story) so i have had to borrow his ATS Cups for a bit. Put them on today so i got a few pics after a good clean.

Oh and car is really low now, scrapes on almost everything, well the mudguards do


8" at back, 7" at front and stretched tyres




Unfortunatley the front 2 tyres are extremley bald

The lowness

I don't like the look of those tyres!

there not ATS Cups There ATS Classics

What size are they?

Low - There's loads of room in those arches

they are all 13". 7" wide at front and 8" wide at the back. I ahvent tampered with the coilies until new alloys arrive. Actually cant go over speed bumps becuase exhaust scrapes and ven little lumps and things on road cause mudguards to scrape lol

yeh neither do i. Wasnt planning on borrowing these wheels, but it was a 'have to do' thing. hoping i dont get pulled. i am desperatley waiting for my new alloys to come now![/quote]

What's happened to your bumper Adam, those scuffs look quite deep.

oh when i was at my girlfriends house i came out to find my car like that! some idiot had driven into the side of it and completley mashed the passenger side of my car. If you look at the picture of the passenger side you might be able to see some of the dints.

did look this when it happened

Looking good dude, i would first and foremost change those tyres! Even if it is only for until you get your new wheels! It's not worth the risk losing your licence or worse, having an accident. On a lighter note i'd wind down a few coils and remove the mud flaps, you know it makes sense

Those wheels would work quite well actually in 14"

yeah, there is a lot of room in the front arch.

I am so desperate for my wheels to arrive, really annoying becuase i have to avoid driving as much as possible and if i have to make a journey i have them stupid front 2 tyres

dont think you can get them in 14inch Tim

Yeh I havent seen any either, would be nice though

ats classics only come in 13x7's and 8s and 15x5.5's

:D

Well i made the decision that i had to change the front two tyres!
They have been doing alot of police checks around my area so it wasnt worth the risk really.

Also when i took the wheels off, i saw they were in a much worse condition than i thought...take a look at the pics




Also the car is on axel stands at front so thought i would take a pic of the lowness at back

good job your getting some new tyres :P

thats how low it should be lol
