..had a small cross threading problem, tried at least ten garages in aldershot (last was MILL LANE RENAULT who tried to quote me for a new hub etc @£500!) nobody could sort it but Mike fitted me in on short notice as i have a trackday monday! half an hour l8r & a bill under £20 all sorted, so...
182, 182 cup, 182 trophy et45. 172 mk1 et43. 172 mk2 et48.5. 172 cup et38.5 basically its as thedoc says the lower the offset (et) number the further your wheel will stick out from the arch.
ta Ben, standard et is 48.5, my alloys are et45, was going to go with 5mm spacers all round, is this the max you could take it or could i go 7mm (with correct long bolts)? my old alloys were et38 so trying to get as close... without shopping for cup turinis before anybody says it!

worthy kit for 4k, roll on crimbo time, best bit is on the rollers in the vid where you can just hear that heavenly engine, wouldve liked to hear the drive without the gay music, trouble is everybody puts music over their vids, if i wanted to listen to music id put on the ipod.
ya will be there, looking forward to seeing the development exhaust as you guys seem to have a good rep, i only have an 'old' 172 so its no good to me but who knows for the future eh
..most boring/annoying threads? for me A) 172/182 v the world. B) show me a picture of your standard car which looks the same as everybody elses standard car. C) clay bar fairies, how you spent 48hrs with your clay. the world would be a dull place if everybody posted the same stuff but these...
charlie (prospeed) will try to get the sound you want and he has many tailpipe options, there was a 182 tailpipe thread the other day had loads of pics
id look to suspension first as its the best mod for the money, if your on a budget id just go with a panel filter, unless you can get a second hand viper or maxogen, inlet is a very good mod for the money also
