thanks guys..

yer i think they look good.. some say it dates the car, but i think it makes it look alot more aggressive.

as for suspension it is stock SE suspension, as you can see, it needs to be lowered at the rear! haha

Tyre size is 205/50R15 Bridgestone Re001s which coped a beating at Oran Park 2day :P hahaha to much sideways action :(

With your tyre size....wouldn't they be massively stretched on a 8inch rim? They'd be more like 225's or 235's wouldn't they?

really...i'm guessing theres a difference between tyre sizes on a 15inch rim and 16inch rim. Because on my factory 16's which are either 6 or 6.5inch's wide i hav 205/45s which fit flush, lol so try and fix my confusion....im typing on a phone

The +15 offset only has a 7inch rim, whereas the +0 offset rims are 8inch.

So the 205/50 on a 7inch is flush, but note the 50 side wall.

Whereas 205/45 on a 16 but with a lower profile should be flush as well.

Yeh I thought it was him. How is your car going with the AVO kit?
Just had a look at the companies website. I see you guys have the new waste gate up and running now. How is it flowing? Did all the CFD pay off?
none as yet - looking for a white NA8

yer the 205s are much to stretched.. makes the car slide to much on the limit :(.. 225s should be perfect fit, but 215s would work nicely, anything smaller will ruin the handling... i will be going for some 225/50R15 RE55s and chucking some spacers on the rear :D

will use my SE rims as my street tyres...

The rims look cool, but to be honest, i am more about performance over looks... but if i can have both, that's even better :D
