After a cracking deal off Mag's @ Ruislip Tyre services I got a set of
Rota G-Force 18x9" ET35 114.3pcd
Wrapped In Pirreli Rubber, Care of Denton Tyres in Carlisle.
Also Opted to Fit a set of Team Dynamics Flush Fit racing Valves.

Various people said that I'd have issues fitting these due to the offset and the width of the rim with the main problem of it pushing the whole Wheel out 21.65mm from the set I had fitted previously.

I took a trip up to Martin's last weekend for him to survey the situation as he'd had previous experience with the arches on the hatch & after trying just the rim on the car it became evident that they did indeed look to stick out a country mile.

Anyway I borrowed and arch roller from My mate Nathan in Blackpool on the off chance that I'd need to roll to suit so every base was covered.

I set to this morning and raised the coilovers 10mm on the rears & 20mm on the front just to get a nice clearance, I also reset the pretension on the springs. I will be doing laser alignment in the morning at work to make sure she's in correct track.

Also gave the car a spring clean today & put the green wheels into hibernation until the winter months come around again.

rob84

Oh yes definatly Mag's for wheels, couldnt agree more.

Been looking at yours and what you've done with the tailgate, I gonna debage mine I've decided, Just looks so much cleaner.

riggedSTI

Thanks rob, I debage everything except the STi and impreza......the main thing is I removed the rear wipers, I think that's what cleaned up the tailgate.....
