hey Pete what size tyres you putting on your new rims then?
Have you rolled the arches at the back and are you still running arch liner up front?

They came with 245/45/17s on all four, and as two are good and I'm not made of money I'm sticking with those on the back for now.

The fronts were bald anyway so have gone for a pair of 225/45/17 Falken FK452s... the 245/45/17s rubbed the arch liners a bit :smash:

Rear arches are completely standard and arch liners are still in place at the front, only heard one tiny bit of rubbing from the rear when I threw it hard into a roundabout earlier today :)

will try and get there! cant make the swindon one cause of work but the SX is back and needs running in so a little drive to the meet from swindon should be good! :) ill try and persuade moonhead to come to

That'd be cool, always good to see some new faces at Longwell... although I've definitely met Moonhead before and probably you as well :smash:

Cool, i run 215/45/17 FK 452's at the rear of mine and they do the job quite well imo. Looking forward to getting my project rims up together though, as my euro 17x7's suck ass, bring on the 3pc splitters in decent offsets and width combinations:whip:

If i get busy with the wheels this weekend then i will hopefully bring one along and show you guys at the meet.
