JoshG1992 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Just some cheap ones from a local shop, they came off a shelf as they were, no packaging. I would 200% recommend hub centric rather than flat ones. The rears are hub centric and were fine but the fronts were the most awkward thing if ever had to fit to a car...

JoshG1992 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 As it sits after a quick wash Once the arches are rolled im gonna up the spacers by 5mm on each corner.Once its sorted I'll be adding a little camber to the rear and looking into changing the springs to make it sit a little lower. Also gonna drop the front right down soon, once i can be bothered having to fit the front spacers again :@ haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would never run hub centric spacers unless they were like 5mm or under cos it's uber sketchy.Cheers for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Think u need 20-25mm on the rear and 15-20 on the front. Tyres are far too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam R4 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 ^ ^ agree with this, on my 14x6's I used to run 25mm front and 30mm rears on stretched 155 tyres worked mint! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshG1992 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Going 20 maybe 25 on the rear with camber and 15 on the front as soon as I can get my arches rolled. Which by the way im all ears as to where to get done in the teesside area? And the tires are fine for what I want chris, you told me once yhere too big before banning me off your forum, you dont need to remind me on here.

MrSloanes Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 If your confident rolling ur own arches Jak & Michael have an archroller they can lend u. Theres a few places up here (GDB in Newcastle are spot on) but dont know of any places down your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshG1992 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sounds reasonable, was expecting like 40 quid a corner. Definitely dont want to do it myself, would much rather someone insured for it did it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshG1992 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah the insurers sent it to the Merc bodyshop so i wasn't hopeful that their quote would be under the write off value. Evidently they were blind as i was following 2 cars that he waited for, i had my headlights on too so no excuse really. Just taking this opportunity while its in unitsixteen to finish it up on the outside, plus i need to source some new wheels now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshG1992 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah, its getting 'finished' this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshG1992 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 So, as previously mentioned, my little lupo was in an accident Just on my way home minding my own business when a careless driver reversed into the side of me. This resulting in some damage:Also the rear beam was bent.My insurance company wrote it off so I bought it back and sent it off to Unit Sixteen to be repaired. Jamie had the car for nearly 7 weeks but had a new rear quarter welded in, passenger door repaired and while it was in there I also had the drivers door, boot lid and rear bumper painted, all the dents and defects removed and a set of Gotti Cups (which need a refurb asap). Plus the front bumper is being smoothed in September and a boot/rear of the car build is coming soon Rear seats are now out Going to be at Edition38 next weekend too.

RosieTheArosa Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 So wheels have had the refurb and powdercoated in chrome. 15mm spacers on the rear just arrived. All i need to o now is get the center nuts re-done in chrome and the badges glued back in. Wheels:Spacers arrived!Sitting a lot better now Tires are staying that size, i like the retro look they give off and tbh, anything to fit 14x6 wheels doesnt stretch really.Next up is audio, which will be ordered on Thursday and hopefully fitted over the weekend More updates soon.the women on these boxes always make me laugh nice little loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
