No idea lol! the standard rears are 9" which run 245/40/17. I plan on a bit of stretch but not too much

Cheers rhys, i've got a fair bit of work to do to them before they are fitted

Over the period of a few weekends I've been giving the car a real good going over inside and out including engine bay/boot etc..

Here's a few pics :)

Bingo well done Tim :)

Here's one after a bit of polishing:

Custom 3 piece 19x8.5" LM's ET9&13 with Image/Schmidt 2.5" Lips & 6" Barrels

The current lips have too many holes (because they are originally for Image/Schmidt rims) but the new ones will be drilled with the right number, if I decide to make use of the current lips on the front i'll use the inserts from fake LM's, I doubt they will fit because of the low offset though.

If anyone has any standard 19" LM's and wants more dish & a low offset for the rear drop me a PM as i'm after two standard barrels to get a high offset up front.

Already on the shopping list: 5.5" lips for the rear to make 11.5's and new bolts all round :)
