Wheels...

[GhostWKD]

Right ok as many of you know i've currently got some compomotive ml minilite look alike wheels 13x6

The plan was to replace these with my smoors :chin: 8x13 rear and 7x13 front...

been putting it off as not sure about scrubbing on the front while the front is lowered 60 (and rear 40ish) but decided to bite the bullet and fit the rears, would do fronts but there is a rounded hole in the hub, but thinking about it the centre bore is fine and on studs so in theory running smoors wont be anymore dangerous than running normals on 3 bolts, so will be giving this a try tomorrow, but for now the rear...

Its fine other than big bumps and hard cornering it'll scrub slightly, i do have some spring assistors which i intend to fit to try and see if this will stop it... but is it really worth the hassle?

What do you guys think?

Could lower 60mm on my current ml's (which would get the 195/45/13's fitted) or do i stick with the silly wide euro wheels and get the problem sorted?

Need opinions?

fit the smoors you turd

those rears look illegal in the amount they stick out the arch, I would say go with the Smurfs, i mean Smooooooors and get the arches rolled firstly to be legal and secondly to remove chance of scrubbing.

smoors on one side compos on the other, be like having 2 cars

 

[helpimonfire]

Smoors for the win!

 

[arc]

:worship:

 

[chrisunoman]

Smoors rule! :slayer:

 

[GhostWKD]

Hmm, i want to sort the smoors but i dont want it to be a 4x4, maybe if full coilovers were availiable :chin:

And on the drive to work... they scrub like a beehatch

i think i may take the 195/45/13 tyres and fit them to my compomotives along with a refurb for the compomotives, and lower rear 60mm too :yum:

Refurb for ml's going to cost me £50 + vat a corner think the smoors def going due to amount of work required to fit them properly (read safely)

whats wrong with the MLs? a bit of kurbing isnt that bad if thats what it is.. i dont mind it anyway, fair enough if its a new *cough* bmw or something, but for that sort of money thats rediculous..

 

[GhostWKD]

If i keep them they're not staying kerb'd going to find some other places for prices too i think
