wrxginge 22 June 2010 11:07 PM

Ask and you shall receive! That's awesome, looks like a pretty good fit so far.

Looks like I might just hold on to the old bugeye after all...

They suit the wagon, not sure they look that good on the boxy arches of a saloon:?

Adam Kindness 03 July 2010 09:45 AM

ok, I've gone and orderd a set off Daren.

Wheels to suit. I have one condition, they need to take 255 tyres as we have a stock pile of old R888's (Skyline cast offs).

I was thinking Team Dynamics 17x9 ProRace 1.2's. They come off the shelf with et23 (as seen a few pages back on someones car). I've also heard they are pretty flexable making wheels to suit orders. So can anyone post a pic of 9J et15 wheels on a classic with the ABW arches?



2dr classic would be best.

shawy1976 03 July 2010 05:40 PM

These are 18" with 255 tyres there 9j with a 25 offset

shawy1976 03 July 2010 05:41 PM

9.5j and 10 offset is perfect like simon,s (jolly green monster)

Adam Kindness 04 July 2010 12:27 AM

I'm going to see about getting in touch with Team Dynamics to make a coupole of sets of ProRace 1.2's in ET15 :)

Or 1 set, then a set of Rota Grids
http://www.driftworks.co.uk/catalog/...idWhite18x85jb

I didnt think they did them in the size i'd want but driftworks list them!

17x9, et15 5x100 :) - http://www.driftworks.com/shop/p719/...duct_info.html

shawy1976 04 July 2010 01:47 AM

Are we getting a group but going for the team dynamics alloys . lol

dazdavies 04 July 2010 11:21 AM

We're getting the Rota Grids in 18x9.5 ET20 for P2

Adam Kindness 04 July 2010 11:14 PM

thats what I am using..

its tight and most of my arch liners on the front had to be cut away.

I am using 255/35/18 Toyo R888 and have tried Toyo T1R too and both fit.

Simon

mje_wrx 17 July 2010 11:31 PM

so what do u need to fill these arches properly, iv 17" with a 225 tyre, catches a bit, so wud like to space them out, but dont want car to look stupid with unfilled arches or filled and a massive gaping stance due to too thin tyres.

macswrx 18 July 2010 10:54 AM

thanks simon :thumb:

macswrx 18 July 2010 06:00 PM

Is there any chance of getting a few more pictures of these arches fitted to classics posted up with wheel sizes etc etc please lads .

many thanks :thumb:

R1CH D 19 July 2010 06:46 AM

When I eventually get round to having these fitted to my four door classic I will be sticking to 8.5 or 9x17s et20. what size tyres will I need????

Adam Kindness 19 July 2010 06:08 PM

255/40 or 45 for the 17's
