lol about 15 comments appeared whilst I was reading the first one after mine!
where do I start emmm...
I fitted two of the X1/9 wheels to the front of my Panda and took it for a quick spin before they got re-furbed. They didn't seem to catch on full lock or anything, but only future driving will tell if they catch inside the arches at full suspension compression....and then theres the back wheels which I didn't even test LOL
It's all fun fun fun though!
As Lewey said and myself know, any bigger tyre widths and offset differences tend themselves to some bizzare handling traits; like road contour following and the inability of the steering to self-centre which is a little confusing at first.
I think though I should be fine at a max of 175/55 - and to be honest I'll only go for that if I come across some cheap.
It's a shame really that I got them all sprayed in Satin Black, I would have liked to have cut the centre's back to bare Aluminium but the works painter talked me out of it and tbh, they're gonna look sick whatever happens!
I might put some very thin, bright red rim tape round the outside though for a finishing touch when fitted.
Or mask the centres or outsides off and paint the rest white?
I'll do something interesting thats for sure
