Need to Give ya camber a tweek, i ran spacers for a bit, but i was worried about the wheel falling off as they were thos cheep Halfords Chavtastic jobbies, so i just messed with the camber bolt thingy by eye until i could fit a Rzler beteween the Tyre and the Strut!! Jobs a good un!! Alloys this weekend, so hopefully i wont have the same problem, the when i get some more dosh, Big propper daddio spacers and a slight rise i hight to get the stance just right!

I'm going to have 195/45/14s on the next set of wheels, so that's going to be damn close...

running zimmer e30 steels might give you enough extra offset for clearance without to many probs

Why hello there!!! Been a biy of a bussy weekend, well kinda, the frickin exhaust fell off on a roundabout on saturday, the folk round here are a nice bunch, attempting to run me over while i recovered it, but its sorta back on now, A new exhaust is in the pipeline, Made my Myself, and my good friend Chappers (mostly Chappers, as i cant weld Fo S**t). Sunday had a treck to Lincoln, (250 miles) Where i payed Mike £60 for Thease ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/wheel1.jpg) and Thease ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/wheel2.jpg) Bargain Eah?? Anyway the Alloys have Good Tyres, But need a Refurb, And the Steels are mint but the Tyres Not so Good! So I'm on with sortin the alloys, But i stuck the steels on yeaterday to see what they look like, they look the nuts, i may just take the tryes off the alloys and put em on the stels! What do you think? ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2702.jpg) Sorry about the photo, but its lashing down outside, i didnt want to leave the porch! lol

Right Quick update today, but many Photos!!! I have sorted the camber so the GTI Steels only catch slightly on full lock, the plan is to raise the ride height and fit spacers soon so this isnt a problem! I got bored of my rubbish Painted go faster stripes (i know, i know rattle cans are dangerous!) I managed to get hold of some Checker Board Fablon and had some fun with it!!! What do you think??? ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2706.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2707.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2708.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2709.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2711.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2712.jpg) ![](http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff203/mclellan-mac/CIMG2710.jpg) Let me know what you think Guys!!!

The checkers look good, glad you stopped the wheels rubbing, makes me more confident about putting mine on. Are you going to sort something for the front indicators eventually?
