Sweet I think those heights sound perfect for small wheels. We'll have to wait and see I guess. You can dummy the rims up yourself and just get them to weld them up where you want them. Oh nuts, forgot to ask, what tyres are you running on the honeycombs? Yokohama A539s in 175/50/13, although Chris (sexyminor) has a supplier from trademe who he could get some directional tyres from in the same size for far cheaper. Unbranded though. And also Bizzo was telling me about his. He's running Bridgestones in the same size. I knew they made some but I was never able to track them down. Yoko do the A539's in 195/45/15 which should be good for yours. Chris is using a 195/45 on his 14's on the Lada and they look great. Nice amount of stretch. www.yokohama.co.nz/availability_chart1.html#50Series |

I could get
Yokohama A-Drive AA01 175/55/15 or
Yokohama A-Drive AC01 185/55/15 or
Yokohama A048 195/50/15 or
Yokohama A539 195/45/15
I'll need to have another look at your rims and Sam's too and get a good idea of the stretch adn nuts.

Yeah the guy on trade me can do them for 115 a corner. I got a price on those bridgestones(might of been G3 or sumthing) and they were more than the yokos, but they are definatly available. Can get Pirrelli p4000's as well but they were also more expensive. And yeah brad with regards to my rims i want to run more dish on the front(like 10-15mm) to fill out the guards to the same level as the rear. However they will be 8's so will have more rim inside the centre. And for the back i want to keep the same dish and add the extra inch in behind where the centre is now. I think it should give a better feel to the handling that i have now, without sacrificing any track. |

Yeah yeah! i love that site. Buzzy as to read it in german(try to read) fully the easiest way to learn a few german words. Ive been thinking for a while now that a Kadett aero dumped to the exteme on widened rostyles would be so awesome. Probably painted in two tone beige and brown  Barry White yeah and the rostyles in black with 5% tints and an ultra ruthless 13b turbo with a massively loud screamer pipe venting blue flames onto the ground as you boost down the northwestern at 3am. Barry White yeah |

Yeah but you get a bullnuts literal translation which makes no more sense than just plain german. Its actually quite cool how quickly you can pick up the meaning of words when you try to make sense of everything. I mainly just look at the pics anyway  |

Yeah, would be mean if there was a GM/T warehouse and we could just buy all that stuff and stash it

I reckon aye, I'm pretty sure we've already talked about doing a GM/T "wreckers" and buying up all the cars that are for sale for cheap and just hanging onto them/fixing them up lol. Its good though, I used to search on tardme for piazza/gemini/chevette/chevanne everyday but now its done for me here ;D all I need to do is search vectra/opel/calibra  |

I mainly just look at the pics anyway I work with a German guy, so if there's anything you're desperate to really know the meaning of, let me know. |
