Bainzy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Apart from Bradley's car, I don't think I've ever seen another Spitfire with these on. Just lots of GT6's. Does anyone have any photos of their own or other people's car to share sporting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainzy Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 cheers Dave, they look great. Are they on 175/70s?Bradley, glad to hear you got a decent price for them. I managed to pick up a set of 5 needing refurb for £50, which is great for me as I can keep them in the shed until well after I've done spending money on EFI and I manage to get the free cash to do them up.

Bradley1500 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Even though they need a refurb that sounds like a bargain!My set of 4 sold for not far off £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharliesStag Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have to say, the combination of 185/60s on the Spitty rims looks spot on your car Dave.I have a few queries though. Do the tyres catch and what is the offset of the GT6 5.5J and Spitfire wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainzy Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well here's what I've ended up with. Sat high at the back in this picture as it had just been jacked up and hadn't settled yet:No interference issues, but then my wheel arch lips at the front are very very slightly rolled (had to do this when using the 4.5J rims). Still doubt there'd be problems even if they weren't though. Car has 1" lower 330lb springs at front and 3/4" lowering block at back with new spring.Handling wise the car feels a lot more solid, and visually looks a lot better in my opinion having wheels that fill the arches properly. Makes the car look less girly and more like a sports car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharliesStag Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What tyres is your car on?I must say that looks stunning! I don't have any silly ideas present for now on my car, honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
