Those rims destroy your mild mannered persona ... much like.

CV mate, appreciate the offer!
Getting some jack stands tomorrow afternoon, will then see how the rest of it works out.


Edit: I have one jack that is close enough, just need to pick it up!

Not possible on the fronts without 3mm spacers

If memory serves me well, AP Racing should clear

Time for a small update.

New Koni insert has been installed, checked over the struts in an effort to locate a possible source of the knocking and found nothing.
Totally forgot about inspecting the D bushings and swaybar for play/grease, will have a look and see if I can finally locate the source of the noise.

Also did a test fit on the new rims and noticed that I'll need to get some aftermarket nuts as the hexagonal OEM nuts will rub into the rim when being tightened down.

Oh well, slowly getting there...

Small update.

Yesterday the RPF1s with AD08r rubber were installed on the car using McGard lug nuts.
Did the usual checks, no rubbing whilst turning (quite a healthy gap on full lock and mid urn) and plenty of clearance from the strut body and lower spring perch.

The 17x9 +45 will clear both 08-10 and 11+ strut housings from the testing that was done yesterday.

One thing that I did notice was the steering input/response, it feels a lot quicker/lighter and turning on the spot isn't as hard as it used to be with the OEM rims.

Only have some phone spec photos, so I'll need to get some nice photos done during the week when there is enough light!
