Listen fella wind your f******g neck in just cause you've time to lie about and post nearly 38000 comments. Some of us have to work and the odd time were building rally cars (every day) Now your the one that came out with the smart comment I just answered a question which the OP asked. Now as for your statement ( Your sort peeve me: you want to come on here, know it all and tell the rest of us what we can and can't say. well not me.) Who the f**k do you think you are the owner of the site possibly. Now if you still feeling poorly f**k off and take it out on something else instead of being a keyboard warrior and as scoobp1 states the size the P1 came with as an optional extra was 215/35/18 ET53 but the reason I stated 215/35/18 with a 46 offset was so that they clear brembos.

This isn't Facebook people!

Alcazar has given you some very sound advice. Be a little more polite.

He's got nearly 38000 posts because most of them are helping people with questions and problems not to mention writing solutions and how to guides.

Who started it? If he doesn't like my advice, he can ignore it.

YOU have zero right to tell me, or anyone what I can and and cannot say.

And as for 38000 posts...I've been around a LONG time.

So go ****, like I said.

Sorry, dude.

I just add my two penn'orth. If someone were to say, for example, about mileage using 95 octane, I'd be straight in advising him NOT to use it without having the map looked at.

I ALWAYS give advice that leads to safety for these cars, and always will.

My own car fell foul of me NOT being given some relevant advice, some years ago.
