Just wondering about how you CC your front and rear bumper strips?
Mask around and Prime/Paint/Lac?

So, Grey primer/Black CC paint/Lacq?

Well not really, when i can afford a set I was going to look into getting some deep dishes/16" alloys and lowering her 35-40mm?
Why, what did you have in mind?

So will any 4 stud alloys fit?
And I don't really understand the like ??/??/R16
What's that all about and what will fit on mine?

 

[Deekstar]

you want 4 x 98 pcd wheels for a perfect fit but 4 x 10 will fit with pcd correction bolts (wobbly bolts), you may also want to look at 15's as 16's are really dear for tyres, the tyre numbers are the size eg 185/55/R15 which are 185mm wide, 55mm from tyre surface to alloy and R15 is the alloy size 15", you also need to watch the offset of alloys.

Thanks for that Deek,
Although does it matter how wide they are? And the depth of the tyres matter?

 

[SamuraiDragon]

yes it does. depending on the size of the wheels, the tyres may rub/ stick out from the arches etc which will affect handling and in the case of sticking out from the arches, become illegal.

 

[Deekstar]

you can go wider but will need a higher offset wheel think punto alloys are ET38 so ET48 would sit 10mm further out into the arches, i went for 195 wide alfas with an ET38 offset but rears were catching on the shock so had to use 8mm spacers to get them out a bit, a lower profile tyre will also reduce rubbing if you get any with a higher profile.

(Hopefully primer and lacq will come one day this week, meaning i can start to CC!)
