TomCanham Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Cheers man, and on the minilites im on 165/55/13 thought they would of stretched more than my old 175/50/13's I had on the starmagsSorry, I forgot to add, What are the specs of the Minilites? Like width and offsets?Just that I've been meaning to get round to getting tires sorted for my wheels, and i'm really unsure whether to go for 175/50 or 165/55. Most recommend the 175's as the 165's are just too small, But you have pulled them off rather well, So i'm in two minds at the minute.

What wheels are you putting these tyres on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCanham Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi mate, Just wondering, did you have any trouble with the front wheels catching on the calipers at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi mate, Just wondering, did you have any trouble with the front wheels catching on the calipers at all?No but it is extremely close dunno if they will clear when i do new pads lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Not had any updates for a while, just not had time or the weather to do anything to do anything. But heres one, friend of mine was selling a polo 16v binnacle, something Ive always wanted to do so thought why not...So much better than the standard one and such a easy fit.Few plans I hope to get done over the next few months....Now the back is stripped tidy it up by covering some wood in carpet and have it all in there nice, flat and clean. Will have a new head unit going in (well its my old one) screen broke a while ago so getting it repaired and putting it back in. Going to do a black headliner with gran handles and visors and all the trimmings black. Also a new slam panel soon so the front is straightned out and then roll all my arches so i can get it sitting nicely again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 MOT spec time, working in a garage hopefully will all be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 MOT all passed, only advisories on a oil leak and front discs beginning to wear so not to bad. After looking underneath Im seriously thinking about getting a notch done as its all a bit close haha. On the plus side I have finally sourced a bumper bar so thats gonna go on this bank holiday weekend so the front end will all be on nice and straight, Ill also try and find this oil leak when im there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looked sweet on the minilites, touch moar lows needed on the rear though imo, perhaps with a slight camber. Pain in the arse getting 13s to sit right but you're nearly there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain in the arse getting 13s to sit right but you're nearly there Yeah totally agree, cause there a ofset of -7 i had to put the adjusters back in cause of the outrageous amount of rubbing haha, lots of arch rolling and camber when i get the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
