[Axelf]

Haha I am sure it will be fine , it only a little rain man , I am actually pleased as I just resealed the soft top yesterday

 

[Stevo7682]

[Axelf]

Where you heading too..... I might be going to Bradford for a set of wheels

 

[Axelf]

Only hope they fit.......

 

[Stevo7682]

Are they 18 inch mech quite fancy set of them for mine at some point they will look great on your zed

 

[Axelf]

Yes 18 but my car is lowered... So just hope it's not a wasted trip

 

[Stevo7682]

Be fine as long as not totally on the ground

The rolling radius of a set of 17's is the same as tbe 18's no bigger overall it will be just the offsets but there should be no issue you may still need spacers for the rear if its a pre facelift 2.8

How are you fixed for a run out on 11th June? Did pm you regarding today but perhaps you missed it.

Would agree just worked out the overall height of a 225/55/16 to a 225/40/18 the 18 inch wheel and tyre assembly is 1.6 cm taller so negligible difference

What time? Hopefully @Axelf will help me lower the car that morning. But if were up bright and early we can get it done and go for a spin ha

 

[roadvoyager1]

I can be over in Sunderland for 10am and support with the spring fitting if you would like. Start the run when finished. I normally head up the A68 and use the North Pennine roads. Do you have a favourite run in mind? I know the main roads around Sunderland but not so good with the minor (more interesting) routes.

 

[Axelf]

Sounds like a great plan..... Sorry @roadvoyager1 i never got back to you but I been busy doing stuff to the car... I am deffo up for a trek out........ You will be the one that has the map I will just follow
