Got tyres ready for your RS's? Found one shop so far selling 195/40/16's for 200 each. Lemme know if you find any good sizes/deals, I think we've got similar specs man.

Ill get price of my tyre guy this afternoon to give you blokes an idea for a 195/40/16

My RS are only 15's so I'll be looking for 195/45/15's. Have had a bit of a look but haven't found many decent priced places around unfortunately :/

Have put some more work into this car over the last week or two, and am heading out to a guy who is an amazing fabricator tomorrow to get a couple more things done, so I'll do a bit of an update after that

Had a puncture in one of the rear tyres repaired today and got a new (well used) VR6 BBS off Ray (thanks again!!) to replace the one which was broken when I had a front spacer break, and so had a tyre changed over to that and put that on too. Feels good to not have to top up the tyres every morning (even though it is super easy with the air setup, have a tyre inflator hooked up to it

)

woah a good price but I heard they don't stretch too well. thanks for finding out hayden (Y)

Should point out. In 195/45.

They stretch pretty sweet.

That's like a 225/235 on a 10".

Look out for achilles tyres they do od sizes, stretch well and good price.

Woody's got it right. 225 on 11", beaded easily with a blaster:

Retarded? Yep. ****s given? None.

sweet, thanks for the tips guys, I'll keep it in mind. I'm going 195/45 on 9.5s so that's going to be a hell of a lot of stretch too, so will definitely need something that stretches nice.

got front chassis notch welded up and shaved the rear wiper yesterday. also started to put on a rear piece that relocates to hatch lock to make it look like it's shaved. Cant remember the name, will put up details/photos later
