Well after driving 7h for these alloys off Viper I got round to getting tyres and fitting today.
Fronts are OK (95% full lock) but the backs were a no fit so after 16mm worth of spacers we got them on but was still rubbing all the way back home quite bad so had to take them off and do some maxing to the rear end. (it involved a lump hammer)
lookley I had been to my local leisureways before getting the tyres fitted so had acquired some longer bolts so that was not to bad, but did not really need them on the frunt as they were going in about 6 full turns anyway but on the back with the spacers it was a life saver. So after maxing the back end I just quickly lined all the spacers up and tack welded them together so it was all central on the hub when the wheels went on.
Ordered some even longer bolts so they should come soon which will do me till some real hub spacers come (prob Friday) so its not all on the bolts.
A bit like these
any way some pics (non Clio warning)
