ouch! how did you do that much damage? what speed were you going ?
I did less damage to my car by impacting curb then up the enbankment at 110km/h ... well, I did crack the bottom left of my bumper in the process ohwell....
take it easy bro... I've had a couple more near loss controls too. haha. bloody wet roads... car wouldn't go straight when the fronts are spinning so fast that no matter which direction you point it, it'll just slide in the direction it wants to slide. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...

do you really need such fat tires? more grip is good, but it may slow you down with more friction. or increase petrol comsumption.
If none of the above are of concern, go for it. :badgrin: :badgrin:

Are you sure the tyres are the right size? I have to run 235/45/R17 to get a rolling diameter 0.6% smaller than the stock wheels/tyres.
Also one of the pics shows caps over the wheel nuts; did they come with the wheels, because mine didn't. My centre caps are also different.
No im not sure if that right i was guessing...
hahha!!
i know they are 7" wide...
and there are no caps over it it just looks like there is have a closer look man! ok...
hahha!!
when i get home ill post the specks.. for you ok?
cheers... 2:59pm i get home around 7-8

Tek, your car is an earlier model then spaz, as long as it is close, your never gonna get it %100 correct, mine is out about 5klms, I found out after the dyno day, so eh. ;) And I can fit 50 series or 55 series tyres on my 16 inch rim.
I go the 50s on the front sava's, and toyo's 55s on the rear.
And I have 225s, they are brilliant being nice and wide, 235 is even better for handling and grip, stuff the petrol. :badgrin:
