Bought ANOTHER set of wheels this week. Picking up this weekend, cannot wait!

There Compomotives, CX Alloys. 13x7J front, and 13x8J rear. They need refurbing but there awesome wheels, got the tyres ready to fit and stretch on. :Q

Image

When cleaned up and sprayed! :devil:

Image

Obviously going to have to roll the arches a tad on the front and get JDM arches or some sort of custom arches fitted to the rear. Wether they'd be smoothed in or not, I don't care, I just can't wait to fit them. Uhhhhhhh yeaaah! Ahahaha

Front arches should be fine on a 7j wheel, mine are.
might have problems with the rear being a 8j, are they RWD offset? as i get bad scrubbing on the back with a stripped out rear interior and Gmax uprated shortened shocks and springs, but some of that is down to having quite big tyres lol

Law states that the TRED has to be inside the arch line not the sidewall. stretched tyres are done for that reason not just to look cool :lol:

Yeah - Hate that it takes soo long as I have cut springs at the moment and I'm hating it! Ride is awful after a while LOL! :lol:

But the wait will be worth it I guess, slam it. Take the helper springs out boyo!!!

Picking up the wheels over the weekend, got the tyres in the shed. Just bought some custom fibreglass arches, wide! Prepared for it all. Updates to follow... :D

Exactly my thoughts Jamie. Rivet FTW! Would love the rivets black to match the roof but dunno wether that's possible?

Anyone wanna help me fit them at some point? Dunno what I'm doing exactly and don't wanna c*ck up. Lack of tools also. :(
