Small update...

Diff is booked in to be made starting next week. Should hopefully have that back within 2 weeks the guy thinks. *fingers crossed*

Huge thanks to Nick @ Platinum Wheels for hooking me up with some very very nice rubber for my wheels.
He worked them out perfectly for the size as I wanted a little stretch, but nothing too bozo styles lol.

Fronts got 205/50/15 Toyo T1R
Rears got 225/50/15 Toyo T1R

[Project D]

Your rear tyres are too big for an 86.
with the same width:
Front: 205/50/15
Rear: 225/45/15

Looking awesome!

Can you post up a photo of the fronts on the car?

[stalker]

Cheers

Yea will do...just waiting for the tierod ends to arrive then will put them on then put the wheels on to get a pic.

We did a rough test fit with them last night and sadly im going to have to get wide guards at the front as the wheel catches the guard at full lock. didnt really want to have to do that, but might get them for now, and then look at making the standard guards fit later on. (yay more custom work to do...NOT lol)

[Super86]

Which part of the guard does it catch?

Sorry for all the questions, trying to fit a 205/50 with 15x8.5 -6 under factory guards and hoping it wont rub, I calculate that I'll have 16mm more room than you do given your offset.
