| Im not sure if its wise to have "The Rapist" written on my car, I can imagine the lynch mobs with flaming torches and a noose already, lol. The Slutmobile is perfect but Tom Green already did that one years ago... |

| Ryan- Good plan ![]() Im ill as fook today so not at work but cant really do owt to car either, so been sitting here working out what wheels/tyres to get. Currently its... ET45 8x17 on the front, running 25mm spacers (so technically ET20) and 215/45x17 tyres. They sit about an inch inside the arches at the top due to the camber and wider front FRP arches. ET38 9x17 on the rear, no spacers and 225/45x17 tyres. They sit pretty much flush, so wider tyres are pretty much a no, but im sure can push another half inch on the wheels easy. Reckon I can go up an inch in wheel diameter if wanted to as well, as they 45 profile at mo, so easy run 40s or 35s on an 18. There a couple of 9x17 wheels I like the look of, and a few 9.5x18s too. Am I right in saying, with the spacers removed, it looks like (going by current sized etc) 9.5x18 ET12 would go straight on the front, and a 9.5x18 ET30 would be spot on for the back? Run 225s front and rear for now I reckon. Anyone whos better at wheel/tyre type sums confirm or give a better suggestion? |

| James- That went away yesterday, now I got some kind of flu/bumaids/ebola thing going on. Jord- Well I dunno about you, but i cant see fibreglass front wings taking too kindly to my arch roller! frick all real meat on the rears as the door shut follows the rear arch line closely, but can flare a bit I bet. Unfortunatly got got BonBon-spec welded on arch extensions front and rear. All I really need to know is if my calculations are about right, and then I can work from there. My maths really truly suck ball, but I think im about right. |

| Thats coool as frick TBH! Me like ![]() Mate of mine came round in his mobile tyre fitting van so I crawled out of bed and got him to change the slightly illegal fronts for some slighlty more legal ones that also were 40profile. And frankly, now having a good look at it, I gotta stick to 17s on the front, due to the castor angle they too close to the front bumper to go bigger. Wider yes, 18s, no. If the front bumper was a different shape itd be ok, but like the dirty 17year old girl she is, the front bumper is too curvy so it fairly close to the wheel. Suits me TBH, 17in tyres are cheaper ![]() |

| i can actually spend some time on it and do a high-res completed version of it with detail etc if you want to use it? (edit - the side your looking at would actually be reversed, decals going backwards etc. the same shot from the other side would be useful...) With regardsto front wheels... can you cut the inside edge of the front bumper away? On my 14 i only had a tiny ammount of the inside trailing edge of the bumper left, like 5mm? |
