Well, I went to put them on and 3 were flat. Had the valves replcaed on two wheels (damn Simmons valves) for free by my local Tyrepower, but they couldn't find the leak on the last wheel. I got it home and put it in a tub and it's leaking from in between the shells, so looks like i have to disassemble and reseal them

damn....



so you havn't even put one on yet,.

Haha, I actually put the rears on as I hadn't found the leak in the 3rd yet, drove to the tyre place to pick up the other 2 and it was flat already! Got a photo on my phone of the rear, needs some spacer action (or I could reverse the wheels! hahaha)and ~2" drop in the rear and ~3" in the front

that' looks ace!

what are the offsets of the wheels?

If you go 2" lower in the rear, you'll have to clearance the arch (maybe both of them) I thinks. Should look really tuff once they're all on!

Thanks Guy I bought them off thought they were +30 but wasn't 100% sure.Being simmons, there isn't any offset stamp on them. +30 looks about right without getting the meauring tape and calclator out.

Lowering will be a while off at the moment. Undecided on coilovers or just a set of super low springs, if they make them...and I STILL have to sort out the roadworthy!
