good theory, but in practice just reverse out.

Cool!!

Is it a shared garage?

I take it you have to get out of the car and push a button or something and takes awhile to turn

Turntables are a council requirement to prevent cars reversing out (so you don't run someone over). Stupid council is making me put one in.

I cringed at the thought of rolling my fenders and walked away from an original Rays set of wheels because the 17x9 +45 sat too far out from the fender line. It was very weird because my 18" Enkei wheels with an offset of +48 fit perfectly under the fender!!! Granted, my 18" are only 7.5" wide.


it went great. no problems at all
