Alloys fitted!!

[Dangermike]

YAY
my bargain wheels have been fitted!!
they look awesome

just afew problems

before:

during:

After:

now for the problems...

at the back passenger side the piece of plastic wheel arch lining was rubbing on the tyre

so i took it off.. is there another way around it? or just leave it off?

the other thing... when i turn right (near full lock) the front passenger side rubs

its weirrd that its only the passenger side. i did ages ago buckle my steel wheel by driving into a kerb :S would this have caused other damge?

any way of fixing it ?

thanks alot!

[cafcross]

nice. needs lowering badly though

 

[leeds_182]

When I saw the first pics I was expecting to see Westwood come out to pimp your ride!

wheels are a big improvement but needs lowering a couple of feet.

 

[Paul.]

lol +1

 

[TJ182]

Smaller wheels.

 

[Dangermike]

[Ben.]

[gazbenger]

i swear thats been highered

 

[Renault_Boy01]

i think you need spacers (and a major slam )

 

[Bluebeard]

5mm spacers on each wheel hub. Sorted.

Oh, and that is one HIGH car!!

 

[Rage]

Low cars ftl

High cars ftw




spacers to sort the rubbing out dude..5mm

 

[Beef-Mc]

5mm spacers to sort the rubbing.

Needs lowering though.

[Dangermike]

lol yeh i know its high!! haha but i dont want to lower it just yet.
i hate having to slow down over speed bumps..
and i dont have money for the refurbish yet. lol

i think it will make a good rally car ....

o yeah on the first pic...

DM

 

[C.J]

spacers

What she said.

What's the offset of the wheels?

 

[Dangermike]

err.... ummmm .... how do u tell? (im a noob )

 

[Tigger]

Much better with the alloys on

As said spacers should help with the arch liner rubbing issue, then lower it and sort the exhaust out - and wouldn't it be lurvely

 

[Alan]

Much better mate.

 

[Phoenix]

5mm spacers slammed to 60mm and mudflaps.....rally style

 

[Dangermike]

5mm spacers slammed to 60mm and mudflaps.....rally style

yay someone agrees about the mudflaps!!
lol
slamming will be awhile.. unless i can get it for super cheap

 

[planetx]

 

[Dangermike]

haha you forgot the RSI sideskirts
dont know about the gold? wheels. might refurb them white

and what are the back light? lol

 

[VeinAST]

The exhaust hung low on my original 1995 1.2 RL Prima and I asked my local garage to sort it and they couldnt do anything!! The originally rusted backbox I had fell off over a speedbump when I had two mates in the car haha.

 

[Dangermike]

if i put 5mm spacers on will i need longer bolts???

 

[Phoenix]

yes you will

 

[ChrisPearson]

no

 

[Dangermike]

ooo 1 yes and one no... lol

which one is it?

 

[leeds_182]

I'll say maybe.

 

[Dangermike]

haha. i dont want my wheels to fall off while driving...

 

[ChrisPearson]

tbh if you dont feel safe doing it get longer bolts.I used 5mm with standard bolts and it was fine but probably would have got longer bolts if i cba

 

[paul]

have had spacers fitted to my mini! caused more problems than a little as everything was seized on good luck!

 

[Phoenix]

ooo 1 yes and one no... lol

which one is it?

i had longer bolts on mine when i had 5mm spacer. deffinatly worth doing. even if someone says its safe i wouldnt wanna risk the bolts sheering inside as its a b-i-t-c-h to get out and costs a lot if you cant do it yoruself
