As above needs to be lowered and will be looking very nice and spot on
Don't put there any badge,looking good like is it matey Jura |
Not a fan of these of stretched tyres.
I would have run a 255 tyre on them with 2 degrees camber to have the fuller arch look. I run a 245/40/18 on my 18x8.5 rotas. |
I like them like this!

To be honest ive not actually seen tyres stretched on the wheels like that, I just took Rotas advice on what was popular and what would fit! Learning curve for me too there... They didnt have the 18x8.5 Gravels in stock for me so for the messing around they offered me this package upgrade instead! :thumb: I really dont know whether to get coilovers or not and drop a bit more, the roads round here are awful in places.. Id be fear't of them getting screwed! :Suspiciou |
Hi there we are running the Rota Grid Drift 9.5JX18 ET38 with 245/40 ZR18 and we are on coilovers,here are pics

That is a MINT drop! Car looks lovely btw :notworthy
How do you find it affects the handling being at that height? Doesnt "hop" round the bends does it? One thing I liked about the current handling is a bit of slide! How are you fixed for speedhumps and potholes with it? |
They do look good, but again a drop would finish it off - too much air in those arches:norty:

You guys arent helping my wallet weight.... lol

How are you fixed for speedhumps and potholes with it? Handling is great,much better like before.We upgraded almost everything on suspension/braking and engine side and feels amazingly like on road or track Before we are have too lowered and on hard cornering(or drag racing)we have problems with rubbing on rear,but after Neil@Slowboy racing suggest we would be much better if he raise the rear and now is spot on,no rubbing issue at all. We are living in London and car is used sometimes daily,but driving via speed bumps is OK(no catching) or potholes is still bearable(we are running the HSD HR which are set-up'd little bit stiffer due track days) As i said,no problems driving like in town via speed bumps/potholes or track days Jura |

I'm running a 50mm drop on whiteline flatout springs and it's fine with speed bumps and potholes around the Herts/Bucks countryside:thumb: |

And with some spacers on the rear...
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1094/img0205db.jpg Some added ballast in the rear here (half a tonne of compost:eek:) http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6793/img0204oi.jpg |
Wish they did the AGX shocks for later models.
