@jaffa what tyre size did you run on the 3SDMs on front and rears? Did you catch at all anywhere?

I'm looking at getting the 0.06s fairly soon, staggered fitment, but not sure what tyre size to go for on front without it catching the arch. You look to be about as low as I am.

Not too fussed about the rears as I'm pretty sure I can run 225/40s without an issue n 9.5j due to the neg camber I'm running.


Really like the look of your car so far. What's next?

I run 215/40 and 225/40
Get the fronts rolled and you'll be golden

Mine rub on the front under full lock on uneven ground but normal driving is fine and the backs have never rubbed

The only plans I have at the minute are to change to the rota grids and lower it back down when it's a bit warmer
Just put on some new flat embossed centre caps instead of the tall ones

Finally got some new wings from a group buy, SRS TEC 25mm wider per side





Got a battery drain out of nowhere to sort out, probably doesn't help i only use the car once or twice a week.
Then it'll be getting booked in for fitting and painting

Nice one mate, so you got any special wheels planned to fill these bad boys up or are you just going to put spacers on whichever one of your current 36 sets of wheels you use  :signLOL:

Got my srs-tec wings fitted. Really happy with them and they certainly widen the front of the car making it look more aggressive.







Ignore the height and the wheel fitment it will be like this for a couple weeks till it's MOT then I'll fit some other wheels and lower it back down

Looking great. Will be spot on when you have the fitment sorted to match those luscious new wings :smiley:
The paint match looks perfect. No mean feat on a silver car. Good times :smiley: :happy2:
