| yeah I've got adapters now, but of course they change how the wheel looks on the car. Definitely get wheels that fit properly so you don't need adapters or spacers! | |

| Excuse my ignorance (blame it on the fact that our shores dont see most to non of the cars on this forum) but I thought the term "GT" always referred to 2door cars (3rd door being the boot)
Nice Ride IMO | |

| GT originates from Gran Turismo or Grand Tourer, basically a luxury car for cruising around the country with a bit of power to boot. iirc | |

| The only issue I may have is the wheels fitting under the guards... Although I can get camber plates installed on my front struts and I've found camber bolts by nolathane in a catalogue at work, so it's a pretty simple solution  _________________ I hate speedbumps.

| Okay so basically, as far as I'm aware, they swap in for your regular strut/hub bolts. And they allow you to change the angle at which the hub sits. Each bolt does +/- 1.5 degrees of camber. They say 1.5 is safe for street use, but 3 degrees (1 on each strut bolt) is only safe for track use. But I'm thinking I might get a little silly with this and go for 3 degrees of camber in the rear   _________________ I hate speedbumps.

| I'm thinking camber is going to be very necessary... These new wheels stick 15mm further out of the guards than the old ones. All I can say is  bring on friday _________________ I hate speedbumps.

| I'm also currently organising to get my rear flares remade with steel. Cos they're made out of body filler ATM and cracks are beginning to show  _________________ I hate speedbumps.
