My Mk1 On 18's

[Rage]

whilst lowering the front of my car, we popped on my mates 18'' oz record to see how it would sit; we didnt even think it would fit!

it fit and didnt rub either! mahusive tho comapred to my turbines!

and how low my car is sitting now on 15''s....dropped about 75mm on the front

 

[rctempire]

Holy hell batman, they are huge.

My mates mk1 5 door is dropped 60mm all round, stuggles to get one person in the back now.

Nice car.


EDIT - Show me more of the monkey

Kin' hell!

 

[Clio_Craig]

:O massive

 

[mat-nos]

lol tried it on the back yet???

 

[lusty v-tec]

look way too big for the car. The body of the car is too scrawney to swallow 18's. OK on a heavily bodykitted mk1, but not on a standard bodied one.

 

[Rage]

haha. nah they wouldnt fit on the back wihtout modifing the arches e.t.c..

 

[AndyFielder]

URM.... NO!!

[Rage]

ideal for a show car thats being put on a truck to them and not driven...massive bodykit etc...all puker!

cheers gav...it was only fitted for a laugh...didnt move from that spot...didnt get driven, tracked, offroaded or anything...just fitted for a laugh!

its lowered about 80mm atm, but them pics were taken as soon as i dropped on the srpings....its lower now...cant get a finger in the front arches to the top of the tyre...

 

[Winston]

Pics then please as it looks higher than lauras and mine and we aint lowered 80mm.... can't see it tbh as lauras got tubs on hers with bigger tyres than yours and hers is starting to rub!!

Where did you these 80mm springs from then??

 

[Rage]

[Mikey]

lol dont do it though pal, would look so chav....

 

[Rage]

just taken some...uploading now =]

 

[A18XHO]

think hes already cut them lol

 

[Rage]

what would look chavvy?

 

[Rage]

oh and...yeah already done it haha

 

[Rage]

here are the pics..hasnt dropped alot lower =[...but should hopefully sag in time. the top of the tyre is in the arch now..and the car is sitting slightly nose down which is how i want it. was going to invest in coilovers, however seems this is going up for sale in about a months time, i cant see the point plowing unneeded money into it.

winston, the reason laura's rubs is becuase of the 50profile tyres. when i dropped them steels on at yours, those were in the arches at the front on a 55mm drop...garantued to rub now if my 45's sit in these arches...plus the valver arches are wider and deeper than normal rl/rt arches making it look lower...

pics kinda show the drop...and the one picture shows how much the tyre is in the arch due to the angle of my hand...
