Hi,

Mine are 19" rimstock diablos, with 215/35/19 tyres, i only get a very tiny amount of rubbing but only with 4 adults in the car turning on to a steep bank..! These can be bought for £1100 with tyres.

You really need to get some decent tyres, Dan. Every photo I see of your car, you've managed to get it sideways:

hi all
i have used south west tyres in clevedon
they did a great job .
the guy that runs the place has a great sense of humour
which made parting with my money more acceptable.
i will be going back there when the tyres need replacing again
hopefully no to soon though

Tsl say they are 52mm offset, but someone else has told me the ones he has are 40somthing..! Im going to find out soon when i get my car back from been fixed, because i have to buy a new wheel and need the correct offset, its supposed stamped on the inside of the wheel. So when its back i will let you know what it is..

1 wheel and tyre is going to cost £330

Dan
