Age old tyre question

[chunky79]

Were they throwing them on?? That's poor, very poor. Is that a bonnet and 2 wing spray then?

I'm not sure if the 4 wheel track caught it on lock to lock test for setting the toe values.

He didn't argue in the slightest just asked me to bring it down during the week for photos and his insurance then go from there.

I'll be insisting on it as you can never blend convincingly but he will need to take the blend into the doors as they should never stop at a panel line on older cars.

Tell them you want it taking to Greg Howell, he is meant to be amazing and still pretty local to you.

This.

But he's pricey and booked to the hilt... probably.

Greg Howell is the man, done my b7 colour change and built my wb

Hey armyair did you let Tiff loose in your car with old knobbly in tact? You could of killed the man lol. Perhaps he will pay for the new tyres.

My eagles turned up today, in 275/30/19 form they are slightly wider than my PSS tyres and have MUCH better rim protection on my 19x9.5 rims. They look as wide as hell, the courier didn't believe they were going on the car and that the PSS looked a lot smaller.

[chunky79]

I was looking at mine the other day when I had them off, they do look huge.

[Mr Footlong]

Same size bumface?

[chunky79]

Yeah, no joking here this time stroppy anuuuuus.

[Mr Footlong]

Better that than a sloppy anus. Ok, no more anus talk please, I am getting turned on.

[Mr Footlong]

Balls, stuck the (latest) replacement rim/tyre on today and as I suspected, due to the increased size of the Eagle compared to the PSS, they are borderline sticking out from the car . Will see just how bad it is tomorrow when the other 2 tyres get fitted but I have a feeling that I am going to be back in wheel scrub city again . Chunk, what offset etc did your rims work out as in the end?

[chunky79]

That my friend is a very good question, I seem to have deleted the pic I had of the wheel size . My tyres are about 2mm outside the arch, if a copper wanted to be an arse about it i think he could have grounds. I have just given it a good blast for the first time since I had the arches rolled and me re-setting the rear subframe, no rubbing. I suspect there will be if I have people in the back and me going over bumps.
