Mine will be higher by the end of the week.

I've never done this before, might regret it.

What wheels did you have?

I've had fiesta z-tec s wheels phase 1 and 2,, tsw venoms, fanblade and puma 9 spokes, think that's it for 15" wheels,, I did find I cldnt fit weights on inside mind

Think some spacers would help with the 9 spoke wheels?

I've seen some Ford fitment Super T's in 17" and some Superleg's in 16" on local Gumtree but could do without spending the money they're asking if I'm honest.

the 9 spoke wheels could just do with axel spacer 12.5mm on the rear they sit lovely then

 

[daveski]

Not worried about that, just want to clear the brakes!

 

[aberdarepuma]

ah i should imagine itll be close but fine mate

 

[daveski]

Cool, thanks a lot.

Hoping to get the brakes this week.

Ok things got expensive over the weekend, its no longer a cheap car

Been looking around for two new tyres with mine being pretty low and the crap weather coming.
Ended up at Costco where I agreed to have two new Michelin tyres fitted and went to do my shopping. Few minutes later I got a call as they'd gone to put the back tyres on the front and found they weren't round, one had a nail in and one had a temporary puncture repair in so I ended up replacing all 4.

Then noticed a hole in the exhaust so today I had that replaced.

Think this is when I stop adding up the cost as I just don't want to know anymore!
