Rota's fitted

Well after all my questions about fitting these I finally got it done and happy to report no problems cheers for all the help though lads!










Stil low too!

Really like this style of wheel, just looks so aggressive. Nice motor overall as well.

Regards
Rick

Its getting there but thanks Yeah brembos all round bud, standard sti kit but I've upgraded the discs to brembo grooved and ebc yellow stuff pads all round

Have you done a proper test of the rear arches catching bud ?? Rear passengers and a bit of spirited cornering ?

Well I've done some spirited cornering bud and had no problems but not had any passengers in yet, I've also stiffened up the coilovers a bit which has made a difference. Did remove the lip on the rears with a grinder too and gave it 1 coat of hammerite and 3 coats of underseal. Hopefully it will be fine but ill raise it by 5mm if there is any issues!

Have you got yours sorted bud?

Nahh I'm STILL waiting for my camber plates to arrive for my coilovers. Am not using the car at the moment due to it not having an MOT on it but that's getting sorted out sometime this week.
I'm going to need to take mine to a proffesional bodyshop cos I will probably go overboard with a grinder and make a right mess of the car lol

It's actually really easy mate, I was panicking a bit about it (hence all the questions lol!!) but it only takes about 15min to do per side and there is no damage done. If you like I could do yours bud and I've got all tools/paints required, got a steady hand too with a grinder

Ok Mike cheers for the kind offer I will let you know when she is back on the road and we can arrange a time that suits you best

No worries mate

What offset are they? And what coilovers you got on, at what height?

ET27 bud, sitting on BC racing coilovers. As for the ride height I'm not sure exactly where this is taken from but from centre of wheel to top of arch on the front it's 330mm or 20mm from top of tyre to arch, from centre of wheel to arch on rear is 320 or 10mm from top of tyre to arch. Hope that makes sence lol!!
Still might lower it a little yet

Lovely them bad boys

What are the offsets of the OE wheels? Is it right that they're ET53?

I've literally just read that if you alter your track more than 20mm it has a good chance of invalidating your insurance. I want to do the same so I just want to ask questions now and get cleared up on how these alter the car. Is the track wider?

Here's the source of my concerns. Sorry to spring this on you mike, I just want to get things clear before I go ahead and do the same.

I would have thought that if you have modified car insurance and you have declared your alloy wheels on the modifications then the insurance company are accepting these modifications, regardless of offset.

No problem mate thats what the forum is all about My pff7's are ET43 so it's less than 20mm, never heard of it invalidating the insurance though?? I have declared all modifications to my insurance company and had no issues when I mentioned the rota's. I'm insured with sky though and they do seem to know what they are talking about and specialise in modified cars

That's a fair point, just a lot of people don't declare wheels, just pointing it out.

Sure is bud, really can't fault sky insurance, great prices, good knowledge and friendly service. Better than 95% of other money grabbing insurance company's out there

I'm insured with sky also and there only concern with the modifications is the value. I had already stated that my car had 18inch alloy on with a valuation of £1000 so there's no need to inform them that I have changed them for ones that cost more or less the same amount..
