Those wheels suit any car dont they !
Does look lovely.... only thing is my pet hate is scoobys without the spoiler... i know its personal opinion but i think one of the things that makes a scooby what it is, is the over-the-top spoiler! (yeah ill always be a kid at heart haha)

Those BBS replicas are so good for the money. IMO, if you don't want to go lower, space the wheels by 25mm? and put about -3 degrees camber, will give the illusion of lower and more aggressive

I'd like the front to be lowered another inch and the rear spoiler returned, but still very nice mate.

What are the specs of the wheels? Any rubbing on the front?

Cheers to all

the rims 18x9et34 with 225/40 with no rubbing what so ever, I could go lower but it would be a pain in the hole
i did have sti winglets fitted but took them of as they were making the front that bit lower and was catching in the driveway

Looks sweet. Id love to stance mine but its so impractical. I have speedbumps at my work firstly. And i often have to use multistory car parks and we get a fair bit of snow in the winter up here and id like to drive to the ski slopes around here

Do you have spacers on? the front seems to be a similar width to mine which are wider and have a lower offset. The rear is quite hard to judge due to the camber

Sorry to see you are selling it as I have always liked it. Hopefully it will be staying in the scooby Ireland / sdcni community.

looks fantastic mate, exactly what i have planned for my blob, just in black and with some 3SDM's instead of the BBS. got a spare smoothed bootlid with the lip spoiler ready to go on (the whole thing is currently taking up the back seats of the car :P)

what coilovers were you running on that? and how harsh did the ride have to be to stop rubbing on bumps?

Mike.
