Hi all, just had a bodykit fitted to my tolly, but i'm scared now, might click it up a kerb, already riding close to speed humps, was going to lower it but have decided not too, or i will be heading for problems, so at the moment, all i can think of, is to fit a bigger wheel to fill my arches already have 18's on at the moment, would i get 20's on.
Any guidance on this matter and so on, any body done it out there

Soon as i get chance will do so, but last time i tried to do it had problems, any guidance on this, anyway bought the wheels, second hand and kerbed, tryed one on front, slightly brushes up plastic inner arch on full lock, tyres on at the moment 245/35/20, might get away with it with 225/30/20

Still waiting on tyres, but put two wheels on, to see how it would look, hope you like the kit and wheels, i'll get them refurbed next year, once warmer weather returns

Looking really nice there. Any notable difference in ride with the lower profile tyres?

Still waiting on tyres my mate, supplier had problems getting hands on them, but got them for a good price, should be here mid-weeek, so i'll let you know, having mixed reactions and advice from alloy wheel sellers, as in , not going to get a 225/30/20 tyre on a 9J rim, should not go any lower than a 35mm profile and will wreck the wheels, but slight scrape on inner plastic arch on full lock with a 245/35/20 tyre, so have to take this avenue, so just watch this space.

On go the 225/30/20 tyres on a 9J rim, or should i say streched on a 9J rim, fit on and no rubbing, but rim edges are showing, might have to go for bigger tyre 245/30/20, drove about 20 miles now and i cannot tell the diffrence in ride from the alloys i had on, which were 18" alloys with 215/35/18 tyres.

that looks awesome mate, the front really suits it in silver, very euro, good stuff.
you really should get those bump strips coloured now, they stand out a bit too much, or just take em off and have the holes filled.
20s look swish too, nice one [B)]

Where did you get that bodykit from? Looks nice...very Euro styling...I'm looking for a similar look for mine....kinda a touring car style.

Coming from an ex 1.8T Toledo owner, as much as I like the Toledo, those wheels are just too big in my opinion.
