It is going lower, collected my KW V2s the other day
Having a couple of teething problems with the wheels drivers side seems to squeek, iv checked the spacer bolts they tight and the wheel bolts are also tight. At 1st i thought it was the brakes, but its more a squeek than a grinding. Only thing i could think of is the spigot ring is makin the noise?? Could it be beading in maybe??

no i meant size of the tyres lol
are they plastic spigots? if so, get some metal ones, heard so many things about the plastic ones
well really you should of got proper merc adapters, with the centrebore of the adapter correct for the wheel if i'm being honest.

Never seen metal ones before tbh.
Im not having any problems with it driving or any of the other ones so i dout im gonna splash out on more adaptors, thinking of maybe going wider that is all

I know all the risks, guys on scottishvag and Eastside have been awsome help with sizes and offsets. Everything is getting done to a high standard. Got my bolts shortend by Bolt King in telford. Awsome job couldnt have asked for better.
Perfect,I like the look of them alot more than the plastic items, a set of them will be getting bought!!!

I have bad experience with adapters, as my wheel came off with them (due to threaded holes by previous owner) so I went all out, and got some from America, with studs, and lifetime warranty, and were still cheaper by alot then the equivalent H&R adapters (and they don't come with no warranty whats so ever)
what size tyres you running? and on what width?

Your wallet must be taking a fair hit Derek
Yeah but not that bad atm, step by step
I have heard a few horror stories, the two 18mm adaptors i have are custom made and seem very solid cant fault them. The two 15mm ones are FK and i aint to keen on them. Thinking of swapping them out in next couple of weeks. ATM im still testing my set up out, just been driving around my work and then checking the wheels, bolts and adaptors. Like the sound of them ones with lifetime warrenty.
Fronts are running 215/40/18, rear 225/40/18. Got them fitted by motorworks in aberdeen did a great job, we spoke about more stretch but decided this would be a safe set up as its my 1st set and just to see how i liked them and so on. As im still learing tbh
i'm running 215/40/18 on 8.5J all round, everyone was like "run 215/35/18's or 205/40/18's" etc
I use my car to commute 100miles a day, so chose against them both, and the fact it was closest to my rolling radius too
can't wait until the coilies are on, and sitting right

can give you the details of where I got mine from dude, drop me a PM, not really cheap, but worth every penny IMO
Is it that motorsport place in US i found theyr site? Look like quality bits of kit. Id rather spend the extra and feel safe than roll on cheap chedder adaptors
