Hi from sunny stoke on Trent England

Post by z4pilot » Mon Feb 20, 2017 11:50 am

Here's mine on Atomic CSLs. The rears were 9.5J wide Et33, so reasonably pokey. Didn't have any issues with rubbing at the rear, despite the car being lowered on Eibach springs. I'd follow Mr Wilks advice on the fronts and try to get 8J if you can. I was running 8.5J ET38 and on the original 235 tyres got a fair bit of rubbing. I dropped to 225 width tyres and whilst it removed 90% of the rubbing, I still got some on fast runs on B roads, which took some of the enjoyment away for me.

Hello and Welcome. A handsome coupe you have there. There should be an info label on the inside of each wing in the engine bay. The one on the nearside has the build date and the larger one on the offside has the VIN number and paint colour/code. :thumbsup:
