I do like the wheels. Everytime I see them though, I think of this person.

Yes, HAVE to be in silver.

Off to Cape Town, South Africa next week. San Diego, in June for my yearly pilgrimage to Southern California Munich in August. BH weekend to stay with my sister who lives there. Go there every year. One of my favourite cities in Europe. Argentina in December for Christmas Holidays. Will end up in Buenos Aires for most of it (some winter heat and warmth!) but plan on spending a few days at this place, it's called Bariloche and is in the foothills of the Andes.

Daily driver = 56 plate Seat Leon, soon to be replaced with a brand new VW Passat R-line. Delivery due March 1st. So I'll have a '10 plate. :) Weekend/summer toy = Z

Yup, Legrath is spot on. Similar to mine. I run rr 9.5, offset is +35 and fr 8.5 with an offset of +20

Well he can't go too low. Bodywork is now of paramount importance, not how far the wheel can be pushed out into a rolled arch. Lots of variables.

You've just stated my point. Jimmy has had arch work. Madmax hasn't and isn't likely to since he's spent stupid money on a Grade A respray. You have to bare in mind that Madmax's arches have not been pulled, so you can't compare the two offsets like for like. No, it won't be as aggressive as Jimmy's, but he's had his arches pulled and it's decked on coilovers. Madmax's isn't. I run +20 on an 8.5" front. It'll sit similarly to mine which is pretty flush as I am only dropped by 30mm.

Cause he has a bizarre front bumper and a razor blade on the boot lid?

Yes, his arches have been rolled to destruction!!! They are really distorted, you can't tell from the photos. +32 with a 9.5' front will still give a slight gap, but it'll look neatly tucked, not too dissimilar to mine. The rears will actually need some work.

Hardly. There's very little stretch on his.

I don't mind it, Edgar's car is too OTT for me, the arches are completely ruined on it. It looks tired with the wheels almost touching the arches and it sitting that low (looks too played with and unnatural)....and the arches themselves are all buckled and ruined. But, it looks pretty cool. MUCH nicer than that horrible looking S13 you posted.

IMO, JimmyTT has got it spot on. Flush wheels, very tight up the top. More aggressive than the black shorty, but that's party due to drop and camber dial. Jimmy's is VERY aggresive. Anymore and it would start looking pap. He's got it spot on.

It is aggressive, trust me! Having the wheel outside the arch and the rubber inside, looks just as daft. Stretched tyres is not a good look and is best left for the VeeDubbers. Not big GT cars.

They are AC Schnitzer split rims. Never seen Wolfrace wheels look like that before. Wolfrace are shit, they are not. Car looks a bit garish though. Certainly would never spend that money on a saloon car.

THIS is attractive aggressive offset. Mild arch work, aggressive fit wheels, tucked, clean body lines. But still with plenty of error for suspension travel and drivability. This, IMO, is what perfect stance and aggressive offset is all about. None of that nonsense above.

Agreed, there's aggressive and there's just plain stupid.

A +32 on a 10" wheel at the back with a +32 on a 9" wheel at the front is gonna be a very agressive stance! I think you're getting something muddled up! Mine is also FAR from slightly modified standard look! LOL. When did you last see a stock-ish car with wheels flush fitting and the car lowered? LOL

Jesus, you've got your work cut out! Not sure on your choice of styling mods to be fitted, but good luck!

Remind me of these...

Wheels look great! Nothing wrong with those offsets at all. The rears may need some light rolling, but other than that, they certainly WON'T sit too far inside the arches.

The cat overheat sensors are in NO WAY connected to the ECU. It must have been another fault that caused the sensors to illuminate on the dash....as that's all they are. You may have flooded the cylinders or something preventing it from starting which in turn sent neat fuel down through the exhaust. But it would not have been because the sensors alone were illuminated, but would be the fault that caused them to pick up excess heat in the cats anyway. Actually sounds like you may have the start of a PTU failure. I dunno, but you're getting neat fuel into the cat....and if it needed to 'cool down', then it could be the start of the PTU breaking down.

Welcome and good luck with your car. :flowers: :headvswal

Would look awful. GTOs require equal width wheels all round due to the 4wd systems. 17s are small and offset will be pretty out. So will give a truly miserable stance.

Ditch the cat overheat sensor. Not needed and most are faulty/broken.
