Your car looks great by the way. Any close ups of the fronts? I'm just wondering how stretched the 225's are on the 17x9's. I haven't even mounted the tyres onto the wheels yet.

is that a 225 on a 9 inch wide rim at the front?


shouldn't it be a 245 ideally at the front as well?

Ideally yes, but that would require a lot of arch work to fit. Also this keeps the staggered fitment that the car has from the factory. It should only stretch s little bit.

Doyal's photos don't look stretched at all to be honest. I thought it would be more so.

I fitted Eibachs on mine three weeks ago and took it to Skidmarques in Essex last Saturday. Needed no adjustment whatsoever. Apparently already set for fast road (it's never been done before) and the springs made no difference. Also being an S2Ki member, the check was free. Bonus.
