Cheers Ed.

Andy, I used a chap local to me who came highly reccomended he's not mobile if you need a number for body work I can supply it. The wheels - don't quote me on this I think they are a 53mm offset rather than the 50mm offset, there seem's to be more space between wheel and brake caliper now than before.

Hope that helps

Rgds, Bryan

 

They look great on the RB5

My MY01 wheels will be for sale end of Sept as I'm going for a set of OZ's

Any offers

Phil

 

Looks good! Saw it parked by the back door this morning.... very clean!!!

 

A few questions, hope you don't mind:

Who did you use to remove the stone chips?

How did you get away with fitting MY01 wheels? I thought the offset was wrong for the old shape car.

Very nice car, and congrats also on the smallest number plate I've ever seen

Andy.

 

Bryan,

The wheels look better on my silver scoob! and I was there first!!!!
I shall post pics when I have them.(Bryan )

Iain.

Your plate is the same as mine (different letters & numbers mind ) I haven't been stoped for it yet....touch wood

That looks sharp! From what I read the stock 01Rex rims are 16x6.5 and ET55. The offset is not identical to the ET53 on the 16x7 OEM rims but that's because they need to be pulled in closer to the suspension.

 

Yes Bryan,

Very pretty , but would like meaner with mine on

Dave

 

Bryan - The car looks very, very sharp with the MY01 wheels on it. Good choice!

Phil - I'd be happy to take your MY01 wheels off your hands, assuming they're in good shape. Please email me (thepno95@earthlink.net) and we can try to work something out.

Thanks,

Looks good Bryan!

When I get round to getting your old wheels refurbished I'll stick a photo or two in the Green Scooby Corner thread.

May be a while though as the money for the refurb is going on a second-hand full Scoobysport exhaust system this weekend!

Cheers,
Steve (with a hole where his wallet used to be!)

 

So am I the only moaning git who thinks that allthough the wheels look great the RB5 is limited so should have the RB5 speedlines!
Still waiting to solder your boost gauge!
Cheers mate Col.

 

Bryan,
I was looking at shrinking my number plate a bit, but bl&#?y hell, that's small!!

How did you get away with that?
I'm assuming that there are no hard and fast rules for reducing the plate size (i.e. it's completely illegal!) but you should should just smile and feign complete ignorance?

What should I expect anyway...a slap on the wrist? Severe beating with that metal truncheon thing...or an appointment with the beak?

Beautifully clean.. nice one..

 

Thanks for the comments guy's

Spider, can't wait to see the wheels refurbed have you made your mind up what color they are going to be?

Col, I will get round to seeing you I've been running around a lot for my sister wedding.

Pete, any luck with the wheel hunt? It's my first night back after a week off, I'll mail you later.

Al, Got stopped the other day first time in 3 months. As from the 1/1/01 it is illegal to change the front plate size due to the new traffic congestion act, as this now takes pictures of the front of the car. This is a fixed penalty and 3 point so I was informed by the very nice Mr Policeman that stopped me, ALWAYS CARRY your other plate and the fixings coz if you can rectify the problem there and then you might just get away with it

Rgds, Bryan

 

It still looks this good.

 

If you ever washed it

 

Nothing to do today? How long have you been on the net today

Thought you were going to give your car some TLC today.

Rgds. Bryan

 

I've only been on since I got back from Crawley (1030) Theres so many intresting poeple on here

I was but its raining. OH! its stopped now
Time to wash the car. Don't you all wish you had 12 days off like me

Iain.

 

I have, and I get at least 8hrs sleep when I'm on nights. Don't you wish you had a job like mine

Rgds, Bryan

 

Just wondering whether the MY01 wheels/tyres have rubbed yet or not, seeing as you've had them a while now. Do you think they would fit an MY98 with standard suspension.

Hel

 

Hel,

Shouldn't be a problem, I'm using 215/40/17 tyres.

Bryan

 

I believe that the original tyres for MY01 are 215/45/17. Have you ever had 215/45/17 on the car, or did you just buy the wheels (either without tyres or with very worn tyres). I guessed that 215/40/17 would be OK as that is one of the recommended tyre sizes (other being 205/45/17). However most of the MY01 wheels for sale in the private forum tend to be with fairly new tyres, so I want to find out if fairly new 215/45/17 (eg 6mm tread left) tyres on MY01 wheels, would fit an MY98 with standard suspension

Hel

 

Hel

The rolling circumferance would be wrong if you use the new set up on the old model and would probably rub the arches with a full load. As I never put the wheels with that size tyre on the car I don't know.

Rgds, Bryan

 

BTTT for Seamus
