Smile New Shoes .....

Thanks to Mags at Ruislip I had these delivered yesterday...

Rota Force with 225/40 in gunmetal




with some nice new nuts to hold them on with



Their going to take a bit of arch work and camber adjustment to get them on next wk-end, but over all am very happy...




Out of interest - does anyone know if I'll need to buy some camber bolts for the rear??

Looks awesome there

Just before you will go tested them,please remove the black bags

Depends how much you are looking run camber and if you are running coilovers.

If you are running coilovers,I would suggest run just for front,we are now running just for front camber bolts

Ha Ha - promise to do that Jura...

Yes have coilovers - do I need to buy aftermarket bolts then or is there enough adjustment in standard with the BC's?

As I said depends on the camber which you would like to run,we are running,but we are running wider alloys/rims(9.5JX18" ET38 or 9JX17" ET28)

Camskill selling them for £25

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m10b11s267...-_14mm_Impreza

With the narrow wing,you will need get more camber or fit saloon fenders/wings,agreed about the arch rolling,you will need arch rolling

With those camber bolts you will gain more camber,we are before run without the camber bolts and camber at front and we are been limited just at -1.45 camber,with camber bolts we are now running -2.00 at front (but we can run -3.00),rear we are running -1.50

As I said depends on your camber setup...

Lovely looking wheels there,
they seem to stick out a fair
bit from tyres though, are you
not worried about nicking them
on kerbs? Especially on tight bends,
easy to scuff or chip when they
protrude from the tyre.

Might be worth deleting your first picture as you're showing everyone your name and address?

I ran the pff7's on a low profile and stretched tyre so not overly concerned - the car only gets taken out at weekends so not used lots and I'm just super careful with the old kerb issue - not had problems on old wheels since going stretched - I actually managed to kerb the old ones when I had tyres with the wall protectors - I guess running them like this you just become more aware/conscious
