Those wheels sure do fill the arches! What are the sizes there? Was there any arch work needed?

Just the number plate and indicator to straighten up now.  :wink:

yeh, they are smart, but it would look better if you lowered the car.

they were 7.5" and 8" but theyve got 2"lips all round now making them 8s all round,not sure of the et off them tho as i couldnt wait to check the et as i was choking to get them on lol,there was significant amounts of arch work needed but it was basically just big hammer time,cut the liners back half an inch,trimmed all the arches to just inside the face and then folded the return lips up tight then tapped the fold up as much as possible,its running with no helper springs in case i needed the clearance but theyve been fine. i still get a bit rubbage but iirc theyre possibly an E30 BMW rim originally so they are pretty proud to start with.

once i take them off ill work out the et tho,it just basically gives me a good idea of how theyll sit on my tudor
