New wheels on - a bit different. Hüb!

Post by faz_b » Sat Jan 21, 2017 1:32 pm

Had a feeling these (and the tyres for that matter!) would split opinion a little and seems I was right! :D

Thoughts are appreciated still though. For what its worth, this is the first part of a look which is far from complete. I am picking up some aero skirts this week, the car is being lowered, the grills will go black and the lights will go black with halo's.

Going for that low slung, moody, "i want to murder you" type of look :P :oops: :cry: :evil:

I think once the whole car is done, will make all the difference as a complete package rather than wheels alone. :)

Be interesting to see how you get on with 235 front tyres at ET30 when it's lowered. I ran 235s at ET33 and had rubbing issues, went to ET38 and it was ok again.

I think the OP is running ET40 fronts and ET30 rears? I'm running 9.5 wide ET33 rears with 265 section tyres, lowered on Eibachs with no rubbing issues, but ET 30 is going to be mighty close!

You're right, I read them the wrong way round! ET30 is quite pokey at the back!

Planning to drop height only 15mm so fingers crossed it shouldn't make a huge difference. Worse case scenario I'll call in arch enemy and get them to sort it for me. No biggy :)

I seem to one of the few who are not keen on the wheels.
