Still try it on full lock and soft suspension but where it will matter at Donny is compression at Craners or under braking at Redgate.

Are you sure?

rims arrived as did 8x R888

Now when I bought these i was under the impression they'd fit no problem but as I understand it I need to muck about with spacers etc. i got 10mm for the rear but I've a feeling I'll need a 5mm for the front?

did any of you (conleth or Evlxge?) have rubbing issues with the 18x9 on the front? running 265/45?

i haven't got the tyres fitted yet. #needtogetthefingerout

OZ Ultraleggeras (not sure of the offset). No issues with rubbing. Had 10mm spacers on the front first but ended up running without as they looked a little too close for comfort. Would of been fine on KW etc but to much roll on standard suspension.

hmm I have a feeling I'm going to end up needing coilovers. If thats the case I'll probably just sell the team dynamics and but another set of CSL's and cups

Yep 18x9 ET 30. 265/45/18 with a 10mm spacer at the rear on stock suspension.

Fingers crossed!
