Novasportc550 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Coming along nice William, loving the thread. What size tyres have you managed to fit on the back? I have some Falken tyres 225/50/15, which just about stretched on because the side walls are solid. I got 225/45/15 for the rear and 205/45/15 for the front..

Julian Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There is no doubt about it, that is the correct way and the only way to go about it,, other than one or two tiny spots, you can just picture that as a shell heading for the production line. Well done M8, a credit to the OMOC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
