Yeah should help with reliability... ...unless I go a bit mental later and take advantage of it Other bits are not really very itneresting, just some tidying up, swirl pot fitting etc. |

Don't fit under cyclones without spacers but that's not to say they won't with other 15" wheels.  ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |

Its about the offset and the spoke clearanceI think im going to go for 16s tbh, but then i'd have to f*ck around with sorting my brakes out and selling mine, probs get ash 197brembo set up, as i do fancy them but means i would have to get some 197brembo's first  I could go back to 15s aswell, as i do still have some cit xantia disks lying around ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |
