Now I had wheels for these that I bought a long time ago, before I passed my test haha
They are 3 piece Tramont Ty2 and wanted these on a loop as soon as I got them

After a while my brother persuaded me to colour the barrels as they weren't in great condition, at first I didn't think it would work and was quite reluctant, but he was write, they look tasty with a bit of colour!

We test fitted the rims to see how much it would poke and decide whether camber was needed
here it is

Now to get some tires, we decided to get 155/55 on the front and 175/50 on the back

Some major scrubbing at the back, which shredded my tires. I only drove down the road and it looked like this :( This is meant to be my daily!

lupo013.jpg

So we decided to camber my wheels to try and took it in along with putting my cups back

It worked with a bit of an arch gap but not much, I will be getting my arches rolled and flared in the next couple of weeks along with my front smoothed and my rear bumper smoothed and colour coded

Here is how its sits at the moment, not finished yet but almost there, interior will be nice if I have any funds left haha

Wow nice work! I've always liked your brothers fiesta on cleaned-uk

Is it just me or have you got lots of toe in with the rear camber?

I wouldn't say I've got that much toe in with the rear , the fronts are worse cos of the natural camber and toe in when lowering it, my tracking is way off haha

Took the cups out after borrowing my mates arch roller and rolled the arches my self. pretty chuffed with it and saved me £130 from arch enemy. Also took the camber off so that it didn't shred my tires, its sits pretty nice and doesn't rub at all but I need it to sit lower some how, maybe custom rear springs and shocks but not sure yet.

Anyway the car is going into the bodyshop soon for some smoothing :) Getting ready for the first show which is Ultimate Dubs!

Yeah tbh i prefer it without camber not low enough to pull camber off haha but the only reason I did camber was the fact that I didnt want it rubbing and destroying the tires. It staying like this for now :) I'm on Club stand on UD so guna be pretty good, hopefully see some nice loops about, last year was pretty sick.

Forgot to add the momo 280
