Gaz's 1.9 Turbo Diesel

pic with vulcans now fitted. i'm a bit dissapointed tho the front wheels catch the plastic under arch cover on full lock
its probably the 215 tyres.
205s will be the next set that i put on.

(before any1 says yes i know my wing is a different shade of red it was either that or the old one full of rust and i mean full of rust )
(but to be honest it doesnt bother me at all its a 1998 car so its bound to have some imperfections)

they look so much better/cleaner/bigger than the V6 wheels on my car anyway. the V6 wheels will look brilliant on lozz's D9

Maybe just go with a 25mm drop?
I know 40mm seems the norm these days

are there springs available for a 25mm drop ? i thought 35-40mm was minimum ?

a 25mm drop would be really good. that bit lower but still have some height.

Few different ones at 25mm from this retailer Gary

cheers dave will give them a ring next week .

drove car for 1st time today with new vulcans on. something wasnt right it felt like jelly . pulling to right all over place.

went petrol station to find only 15psi in each tyre

much better with 35psi in each wheel.

The wheels look cool.
they fill the gaps nicely idont think it needs lowering imho it looks good as it is

Try some red Colour magic on that wing it will dull it off abit

What was the offset & width on the wheels? Mine don't catch anywhere, but my Nautilus & Hoggars both had a 12mm offset on 7ins wheels & they do look like they sit further out on my estate than yours do at the mo.

I'm guessing at 18-20mm on your ones.

[Gary406]

not sure what offset they are it doesnt say anything about ET on the back.

all i noticed was a print that said 0-20

[waue1978]

It doesn't always state it as ET. Some wheel makers have IS, but a lot of Pug wheels have it stamped on the inside edge of the rim of the wheel. The 307 wheels for example had CH4-31 on them. 20mm sounds about right though so that could have been it. Next time you have the wheels off, write down all of the numbers that you can see allk around the wheel & I should be able to tell you what most of them mean. I had to learn most of it for my first job when I was 16. You should see the offsets on truck wheels!

ok cheers stu. they will be off soon anyway the front droplinks are totally ka-plunked. seals are badly perrished and need changing.,

just carnt be arsed at the moment because it not knocking yet

what psi do you put in your 16s ? i put 35 in the vulcans is that about right ?

[waue1978]

I tend to put about 35 in whatever the tyre size.
