Helloo

recently put some wheels on my sqaureback, but the rears rub, I running 185/50/14's at the moment, so I was wondering if I could find a 175/50 out there somwhere - because I can't find any!!!

thank you people.

I think my et is 14, because I have a sqaureback the shape of the rear arch means I can't go any wider on the tyres. But I wouldn't have it any other way :lol:

Unfortuantley already taken a grinder to the arch :roll: my poor baby, I really wish I had never done it!!! apparently I've weakend the structure!!! as it's doubled skinned!!

it makes me sad tothink about it!!

and cheers Zombie :D
