Hopefully test fitting them Saturday to check if the spacers are needed for the right look, if all goes well the tyres will be swapped and they will be on Monday

As you can see I didnt quite stick to the plan of just trial fitting the wheels today
I got up nice and early this morning and gave them a coat of the C5 then loaded up the car and took them up to Mark at Wheelpower in Brockley
Being the Neuspeeds are an 8j and the stock wheels are 7.5j I was'nt too sure who far out they were going to poke with the spacers I was already running, we test fitted the front and found that the chamfer at the base of the spigot on the Forge 11mm spacers was too fat and it wouldnt let the new wheel sit flat against it, Luckily Mark had a pair of black 12mm TPI Hub centric spacers
These fitted perfectly so we put these on the front to see how well the wheel sat.
Just the fit I was after
Now to the rears,
I was a bit worried about leaving the 16mm Forge spacers on the rear, the stock wheels had been rubbing before I raised the rear and they were 12mm narrower than the Neuspeeds but as the 11's were no good and Mark only had 1 set of spacers we gave it a go.
They do sit really nice, almost flush with the body but if they rub I'm worried they will rub the body rather than just the inner arch liner like before
I'll see how it goes over the next few days and maybe get another set of the 12mm's for the rear.

I'm on the edge I like them but don't think they look right need to see it in the flesh I will when I drop these bits over for carbon , to make the really work the front needs to come down so its level with the top of the tyre its to high at the min
