Fitted my news wheels today, thought someone might be interested! Not finished yet, got sent 4 wrong nuts so waiting on those and can't fit the rear centre caps as the half shafts stick out too far, but I was planning on getting some 5mm spacers anyway and that should solve it. Makes it look a bit scruffy at the moment but will be rectified soon hopefully.

 

Please excuse how filthy she is, not good I know, and the pictures aren't great as I was running out of time/light

 

 

18", running 245/40 on 8.5s at the front with +20 offset and 275/35 on 9.5s at the rear with +40 offset at the moment.

 

Do have a, err, slight problem that the fronts are rubbing at the moment...rather worryingly perhaps differently on either side, though I don't know if the liners are exactly the same both sides? Rubbing at the front one side and the back the other, the steering wheel is well out so I know I need the alignment done but not sure if that's gonna help.

 

Also hope I've got enough clearance at the top, first time fitting aftermarket wheels for me so don't really know what can be gotten away with!

Nice I like them

I like those too! Very nice. You could probably squeeze 10mm spacers on the rear I think to give it a more aggressive stance whilst solving the shaft-clearance issue. You'll need longer studs though.

Nice wheels and if the fronts are rubbing then its probably touching the arch liner screws. These can be bent back a little or even filled down.

Cheers guys!

Yea that's why I didn't order the spacers before I fitted them in case I could squeeze ten in, not sure the extra 5mm is worth fitting new studs though, will think about it. Depends if I'd get a 5 on without new studs, I forgot to check

Unfortunately it's fully hitting the arch liner itself, quite a lot on the one that's hitting the front... good idea to do something about the screws though, did think they stuck out quite far, will have to see what can be done

No, you won't need new studs for 5mm. 10 you will do.
