got two tyres fitted on friday and ive got to say, the tyres sit perfectly, the over all diameter is nearly identical to the standard 15" wheels and tyres, just waiting for some skinny wheel bolts so i can actually put them on the car properly

obviously the wheel is sat on some wood currently but as you can see, it looks like it pokes out slightly which is just what i wanted, potentially a little arch work and that will give the car a nicer look :cool:
and theres my daughter to - the prom passenger!

looking at that I'll think they'll just about clear on the back, you might find they catch the wings when on lock going over a bump however.

indeed they will! now that were on the other side of the christmas break and im not where i need to be progress wise, plans need to change a little, i dont have time to widen the arches, so im gonna have to bite the bullet and buy two new wheels for the front on an et30 offset instead of 20, i think the rears can be rolled slightly, although i had the car 4 wheel tracked when it was on the road and the rear track looks like its towing in badly, i need the wheels to be parallel to the arches for rolling to work, so im thinking ill just eye it all in then get it done again when its back on the road. the goal was never to have the wheels sticking out of the arches, but to extend the arches and give the car a more aggressive look.... :wall:

The back wheels are supposed to have 20 minutes of positive toe each side at the back so they will be pointing in slight at the front, and that figure has a 10 minute tolerance so they could be pointing in as much as half a degree if their on the limit.

I don't think there's much you do with the rear arches on a Coupe they already are kinda rolled and there isn't really a lip. You may be able to gain a couple of mm by squashing the factory rolled edge down but it'll break the paint.

I did think you were pushing it a bit with a 9" rim and ET 20, I guess at least you'll two spare wheels for the back.

Make sure you put the stock wheels and tyres back on before getting the alignment done as a 10mm difference in ET on the axles will confuse the hell out of the tracking gauges.
