That is absolutely stunning. Amazing colour/wheel combo. Monza red should've been offered at the factory.
Looking forward to more pics.

WOW!!! That looks proper nice P6 tyre sizes, can of worms they is! I went to my local tyre fitters with an original wheel, and the equivilant 15" 205 tyre profile was 55, so that's what I bought. I don't think the v8's had a larger rolling diameter than the 4 pots, at least my one didn't, but a lot of p6's I see seem to be running on tyres that look rather large compared to what I've got  Oh yeah, more pics please  |

HI Les,
I'm pretty sure these were bolt on with no modification it took some fettling with the rear arch and tyre sizes to stop it rubbing. I'll ask my mechanic it was obviously a while ago since this was done.
Are the wheels you have Vitesse alloys they may have a different offset to your set?
