a little update..
yet to receive wheels so will hopefully see them soon.

purchased a set of chassis rail plugs off ebay, im extremely happy with them they have a rubber grommet which holds them in so no need for glue!
tell me what u think?

look unreal, what back space did you end up going with back and front, whitewalls will make them look even bigger

baz tyres are:
225x45x17 front was initially going 40 profile but they didnt have a load rated tyre in that size
245x45x17 rear any wider and they will definately scrub! however my guard are neither rolled or pumped...

my only issue im having atm is the fronts are scrubbing on that inner lip thingy on the firewall so i'll either smash it down or cut it... doesnt need much just a few mil but if u can get a hold of 40 profile tyres you probably wouldnt have this problem...

shane im not too sure my mate at bobjanes sorted it all out for me! lets just say its a perfect fit :D

keep the comments coming

saw you driving down Brighton road today. My mated drooled and I was like "I know him..."
It truly looks amazing mate.
oh, just wondering what's going on with your old wheels, just looking at putting something with decent rubber on my lc.
