the only current picture I've got of the car with the wheels is from it's last show, found this on the net

changing front tyres for a slimmer profile the dropping it another inch at least but not for another week. dash to finnish and electric rear pop outs to setup

pic updates in 2 weeks

Messing around with tyres now, fronts started of as 195-45-16, wouldn't go down lower (were have I heard that before), then changed to 185-50-16, more streatch, more clearance and down another half inch, still not low enough, now 175-50-16 and still want more lowness,

Arches are going to be pulled, big breakes fitted and if I have the room the backs of the wheels are to be skimmed by as much as possible, problem sorted,

Current stance
