Its a 38 offset on these ones mate. They were almost a perfect fit too, very minimal guard roll required, I got tein's fitted, I hardened up the setting a touch- still hits slightly on big bumps, but no more than when I had the racinghearts running the softer setting

i can second that on the ad08s! The grip is really great. I floored mine in the wet around a corner the other day and the car just gripped. Mind you it is a stock motor with a pod, so nothing special here. But still, with my old Kuhmo KU27's i remember they used to be a bit taily when they were new if it was raining.

I think they are a great all rounder wet or dry. If you want to have confidence in your mx around corners, ad08's all the way!

Ive had time enough to have a quality run period with the neovas now- the grip in the the new tyres and bigger size rims has seen slip in the famous Jim Berry custom Race Clutch I had made up when the boost peaks :shock: I had a deep and meaningful in person one one one for a few hours with the great man Jim the other day at Stanthorpe and we in the process of working a new frankinsten clutch seeing now I have awesome grip because of the AD08r tyres!!! I will be putting up a few "one after the other" posts and pics in the next couple of days in the garage chat section- :DIY:

The Tyres aren't my cup of tea. Planning to get some 205/45 or 50 series rs3's or similar



Hey mate, what type of wheels are they and did you buy them new? If so where from? I am looking for some 16" wheels and it is tough finding something I like.

I traded a guy for a set of my 15x8 wheels to get these. (I wanted a larger rolling diameter for the road). The day drag on the centre cap. That's all I know. With the low offset they are a tight fit. I have alot of camber (for the track) and they just Squeeze into the gaurds. You would struggle unless your gaurds are rolled

Nice!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yeah I like them, looks good. I wouldn't be worried about rolling my guards but I can only seem to find them in the US unfortunately.
