But looking at them it was all worth it 8) they do look sweet. Yeah still happy with the wheels even the 9s on the rear, all worries have subsided tbh as i've been reading about widewheels and MOTs and Cops - should be ok :D Just bought a set of Toyos for the fronts as i've just got insured on it from 1st May and it'll be in for MOT end of month so im putting a new front set on the fronts.... looking forward to driving it :D Another think i wanted to ask you with those wheels is, did you run standard wheel bolts with them. Took a look the other day and theres only 17mm of the threaded shaft sticking out the back of the wheel (the whole shaft is 27mm) so ive ordered some slightly longer ones, 35mm.

trigger83 0 Posted May 4, 2009 i had 28mm bolts on the wheels,then the bloody lockin wheel nuts got stuck and had to force em off,this whole thing has been a nightmare really,soooooo happy there on now. hows the new suspension? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah 28mm are standard. I'll try the longer bolts they're only an extra 7-8mm longer - long enough for piece of mind but dont think they will be too long. As for the the coilovers. I've not had chance to try it out yet. Car shouldnt have been going back on the road until September, but i just couldnt wait that long. So even getting back on the road to only drive it say once a week, once every 2 week that'll keep me happy until i can drive it everyday :D I'll let you know how the KWs are, they get good ratings on here so im confident.
