    new wheels fitted

    Finally got round to getting my 18" oz superturismo gt's.
    Its absolutely filthy at the minute but her are some pics. Were taken just after fitting so back looks high because of that.

    Think I might just swap mine around the cars rather than buying a set. I have a new 3 tonne jack to play with!

    I have a 2 ton trolley jack, but I have to jack the car up with the standard jack first as the car's too low for the trolley jack.

    Lol, I was exactly the same with my C70, until a coilover buggered up, and I'm now 3-4" higher at the back. Nivos on the rear for the time being at least.

    Thanks guys. Impressed with them. Little bit more road noise/feel from the lower profile rubber though.

    Which tyres did you get? Is the profile correct, looks like it could be 10mm wider so that the shoulder of the tyre is square up. Looks like it's curving in...or is that the photo? Post a close up of the wheel and tyre as 'side on' as possible, can you?

    There not really my cuppa tea, but if you like them, then I'm happy! One thing I will say.....pig to clean!

    They are 225-40-18 tyres. Been looking at some 235-40-18 Goodyear's but at the price of them they're going to have to wait
