britishbeef Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 No tyres for me today! Wheel specialist Farnham was open, but fully booked until a week today. They do not normally fit tyres to just anyones wheels, normally it is only if you have had a refurbishment with them. But they happily agreed to do it for me, and would find the best size and fitment. So a week today will be the day hopefully. Unless I get impatient and go elsewhere on the weekend! I am going to fit one front and one rear alloy just to see how they look and fit . Pictures shortly. Have you got a good pic of your z on the jade r wheels on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 By the way Merrow Tyre and Alignment on Dogflud Way are very good for wheels and tyres. I use them for both cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCook Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I will probably end up getting them done this weekend elsewhere, and I meant to say wheel specialist Fareham, auto correct.. Here is the rear alloy on the car, it looks tiny! I am quite pleased, just from fitting one alloy, I think they will suit the car quite well.. Just need to order some more bits to compliment the new black wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is that bolted on tightly? I know it might make a difference when you drop the car but the alloy seems to protrude quite far out from the wheel well if I'm honest. Look's good other than that.

Just one nut in, but it was flush with the hub. It looks similar to grundy's first photos of his Cosmis wheels (stuck out just like mine), obviously there will be a difference as you said when there is a tyre on there and when it it actually on the ground. This Saturday is going to be the day, I think/hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parello9 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think you need coilovers to tuck it in the arch with some camber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Try denmead tires pal. In denmead obviously. Great help in there. Think they charge 15 a wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Also they have always price matched (or got very very close to) with camskill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 i run 225/45/18 on 9.5 j rota and 245/45/18 on 10j rota Buster..... with those sizes are you running any wheel spacers? Just that the wheels I have my heart set on are the size you quoted but was a bit dubious as to what tyres to go for. I also have the Brembo calipers so need to ensure they get cleared. Thanks Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
