    Thats all you will really need to do to be honest if worst comes to worst then get a camber kit thats all.

    what do you mean by camber kit Steve?

    is that like a plate/spacer that angles the rear wheels so they tuck in the gaurd? if so i can deal with that

    9" all around would just look awesome, but you may have trouble getting the fronts sitting right without rubbing.

    For the rears, you can induce camber by a camber plate/shim that goes between the beam and the stub axle. For the fronts, camber bolts/pins can induce more camber.

    Eric you probably won't need spacers for the fronts there is a fair bit of dish in those wheels

    And yes as Raymond said its a plate with a small angle shim that gives you that slight camber

    Why the hell do you all go on about staggered rims and then stick the wider set on rear? Which has no drive? And the little ones at the front? Where the 128kw is sitting?? This makes no sense to me at all.

    Oh and patience is my virtue tassie_euro_mk1 (that and I'm stone broke atm anyway lol!).

    well the wheels might have to be put on hold at the moment as the VR6 is showing signs of a blown head gasket

    So if thats the case i will get the head ported/polished while its off.
    Still gonna get the wheels tho. How fat is it gonna look from behind lol
