My freshly flared out arches (56k beware, 10 pics)

[PhatVR6 0]

Before anyone makes any snotty comments, that's fresh out of the paint gun 3 hours ago, it hasn't been flatted or polished yet.

 

Here goes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now don't those speedlines look pathetically small!!

 

it needs lowering another 2" at least, must crack on with the wider wheels too.

Amazing how flaring the arches makes the standard wheels look so small.

 

Looking great though mate.. can't wait to see the finished article with some suitable fat wheels on there :)

tastic phat.....those 15's look like 13's!!

Looks good, you had us all worried. Are they smoothed inside too?

Cool 8) Looks a top quality job

[MoonlightVR 0]

Very nice 8)

What width of wheel are you hoping to fit under them then?

[PhatVR6 0]

nah, they aren't smooth on the inside, just sealed. it'd have meant too much filler to smooth them inside and I didn't see the point.

 

9x17"s are going on the rear. 7x17" on the front.

 

I can't wait to see it with the bumpers on!! picking it up saturday morning.

 

wheels are coming off straight away. :lol:

I forgot to put this shot in :mrgreen:

 

Feel the girth

 

 

phatvr6 is most definitely back....just wait until you see the wheels :wink: :mrgreen:

Looking good. Excellent quality paintwork there.

 

I think you should put those Boxster rims on and yes the Speedos like totally lost in those arches now.

I'd put the boxster wheel on it, but I can't afford 18" tyres. the 225.35.17"s were £105 each!!!

[CoxyLaad 0]

cool 8)

[Kevin Bacon 5]

And 255x30x18 for your rear 10s would cost upwards of £170 from mytyres.co.uk! They are a good supplier and good prices.

I've got a brand new 225/35/17 Falken yours for £45. It will cost you £90 from Elite Direct to get a matching one for the other side.

7" is too narrow for the front. My 8.5's look a bit too narrow to me so i'm going to machine some spacers to fit and push them out abit

[PhatVR6 0]

I've driven with 9"s on the front for years.....I'd rather go with 7's. besides, they are really low offset, they will be wide enough.

Lee- Dont you fancy fitting 9s on the front?, brand new replacement outer rims for zw1s on german ebay are only about £100 each

I'd like them, but got absolutely no money :( . Kid you not, i'm borrowing petrol money. Not done that since i was a student, A20 LEE got completely out of control and i couldn't cut any corners. Hopefully santa claus will bring me some :wink:

Your name's Lee C?

 

Lee Claus?

 

It all makes sense now :lol:

[Valver 0]

The original 'PhatVR6' is back! LOL! Looking good mate, but I was gonna say the same as Lee - won't the 7s get swamped in those arches?...........I'm sure you got it covered! (9's up front, and 10x16 rears!) :wink: :mrgreen:

[ben16v 0]
