Thanks mate  :smiley: yeah they are calibre vintage and i believe the et is in the mid 30s but not too sure, maybe go with 40 profile instead of 35 for a bit more sidewall when stretched?? who makes the ones you've got? look very similar apart from the stepped lip

There's some stretch going on with them. Fitting over the weekend or saving for next summer?
Would look excellent colour coding  the centres of the wheels imo, not too keen on the silver look of them.
