So time to try the rims on the Bora to see what fits.  Its a staggered setup with the rears being wider and with the Boras flared arches it means theres lots of room to accommodate the width of these alloys too.

Initially had an issue with one of the adaptors with 2 of the 5 threads for the rim being cross threaded and a bit chewed up, but the answer presented itself in the most unlikely of places....I had a renault come for tinting and the owner took the adaptor and vanished for 20 minutes and then returned with the plate all retapped!

Meant he got a free tint job, but in return i got to put the rims on the car  :jumpmove:

The coilovers and ARB desperately need to go on now as the ride height on the car now puts the mrs's landrover to shame  :laugh:

the gap on the front:



the gap on the rear:



 :signLOL: :signLOL:

almost need a pilots license to fly at this height  :grin:

That said though, the rims look absolutely perfect, with the look and the setup..... they were wasted on an X5  :smiley:

I also had a strange occurrence with the rear lights while i think of it, they all went out at once  :confused:

Gave me the excuse to uprate all the bulbs at the back and some Osram Night Breakers up front and a few cheeky LED's where needed.... will go through the interior ones too at some point

They are a bit cavernous  :laugh:

hopefully strip the front out towards the end of the week and tackle the bearings and get the calipers painted up then slam it down hard
