You will need spacers, and longer bolts, I run 20mm spacers on the front and 10 mm on the rear with 265 30 19 tyres.

Have you got the 19" 9.5 et 30 ones? Did they effect the handling badly? Or is there a better offset to choose?

Mine runs on ET 30, cars handles fine, can be a bit busy on bumpy roads under braking but the general feeling is the car is gives better feed back then on 18" and looks better too!

Na....... go for the conti contact 3's........ had PS2's first and found these to be far better both in noise and resistance to wear....... still look new after a day round Donny..........

Simon,

Excellent pic of the stealth bomber

, what suspension are you running there?
Agree with the tyre choice, PS2's overpriced and overrated, IMHO. (But then again, I just have empty, twisty, windy, boring roads, up here

)
Conti's are best deal, bang for buck, (as they seem to say, nowadays

)
Cheers,
Andy
Ps I'm still looking for some spare Bimotos

You know you said use spacers, i spoke to qst and they said they go straight on et30 with 265/30s
did you have lower suspension or something?

Bit of a random post here, not entirely related, but must ask... why not go for sportec monos? Similar price - sexy as hell!

Just won a set of 4 brand new bimotos off ebay, i was browsing last night and came across them, i won them for £410, what a bloody bargain, a bit of last minute bidding though. Saved nearly £1000 now, woohoo!!

Nice one. I've been watching them going and was about to post about them. Didn't realise they had finished.
Well done

Not quite sure that adcvice is right, the fronts cleared with no problem the rears fouled the upper mounting by the smallest of margins. My car is running standard out of the box Audi suspension. Also cosmetically, the rear spacers do allow the wheel to sit out a bit, filling the arch better.
