Thanks for the pic Logan. I knew what they looked like. The car is imprinted in my mind

Ah! On second thoughts.........I did wonder if they were 18" too big for me

How do 8" wheels fit inside the wheel arches, especially the rears? What section are the tyres?

Look nice though :thumb:

No issues with fitment, running a 215/35 tyre. offset is ET48.

The fun I will have is fitting my Volks 8x17" with ET 38!!! Got Dunlop semi's for those....had my rear arches rolled tho when the car was in for its work!

215s fit OK. I prefer that section instead of 225 on my 7.5" STi wheels as they give better clearance.

et38s going to be tight. Still, it'll look nice with 22B arches

My girlie ickle VF28 puts out 345lbs ft :!:

On Steve Simpsons RR maybe

Spences car is a forged 2.0 with Sti5 heads and an AFP 20g. There might be another 10/20 lb ft in it but with the variation in RRs, who knows? As long as its ballistic I dont care

Only winding you up mate....I don't go in for arguing over figures, its when the light goes green that counts!

Agreed. None of our cars were particularly slow
