did you not think to do a little measuring up before you bought them so you didnt have to go buying smaller dishes? think i prefer them 14's of lukes on it tbh? fair play though, i run 10.5's on the rear of mine

I had 9's on before that were Et11. I didn't think an extra 11mm would be so bad.
14's are too impractical. The arch to tyre gap is massive to run it without smashing off the sump

they look ace mate, shame they stick out so much especialy with the police round here at the minute, they are coming down hard on things like that, i dont even think insane stretch or camber will sort that, the 8's looked just right, let me know if you sell those dishes tho yeh?
cheers, brad

Update 8/10/08
I got impatient today and bought some bolts to build the wheels up until the gold plated ones arrive. had a bit of a bastard on trying to work out what thread they were, but in the end found out what they were.
This is the work bench i used. Yep, thats right! The kitchen table! I love being a bachelor!
And these are the tools i used. Chocloate digestives, sand paper, Loctite sealant, allen key, and knife.
Applied the sealant to the edge on the basket
Place the rim on and bolted it on
Then ran a bead of sealant around the rim and basket joint.

Why does the van have to go? Something more sensible?

Long story shrunk down but basically, i need to free up some money to pay what she did towards the bills and stuff at home, so selling the van to pay off the finance on my R6, which gives me the money i need.
