-
One day I will fully deck it, for the track :D
Thanks dude, gimme something else to tinker on :oops:
Right result on the rear set of spacers, its just in
at the top 8)
Taken the front ones off for now till I decide what to
do about them
-
7J rim (ET35) +25mm spacer is the same as a 9J rim (ET35), not an 8J. ;)
Stock V6 rims are 6JJ x 15 ET45 as far as I can tell from the intershizzle.
-
Yes. Im using 7 inch wide rim + 25mm spacer wich is imitating an 8inch rim.

car looks sik ! fmic behind that grill ! also projector lights like SstennizZ
what u fink ?
-
Thanks Jay,
Mmmm projectors, still not 100 percent on them,
wouldnt mind the brighter light, but
think the stock headlights look better on a red '3,
but if I ever get the car painted white then
black ones fo sure 8)

Interested to see what these look like on the car, I still want some Ganador mirrors :( but don't do them for the MX3 :cry: (would be a big job to make them fit as well and costing over £200, I wouldn't like to try).

Another little project I'll be working on
for this car, is these escort recaros my mate
donated to me after selling his saxo they were in :
Going to need reupholstery and a new bolster,
but apart from that they are pretty mint not to
mention very comfatable and great for holding
you around corners :D
Luckily the missus has just bought a sewing machine
thats capable of doing leather, but I quite fancy Alcantara :D

Yes. Im using 7 inch wide rim + 25mm spacer wich is imitating an 8inch rim.
**Just so you know, an 8" wheel would be 0.5" further out from the hub and 0.5" further in to the well than a 7" wheel of the same offset. A 25mm spacer pushes the whole wheel out by 1", making it 1" further out from the hub, imitating a 9" wheel of the same offset.
7" + 25mm spacer = 9" wheel equivalent, of same offset.**
-
Yep im with you now, moving the wheel centre out using a spacer
as opposed to an 8 inch rim.

Kaboom! Just scored what looks
to be a mint hatch garnish of ebay 8)
