    are these the biggest rims available in the uk?......

    looked at the khan advert in the new fast car (page 93) and saw the rs-c 1 piece rims there....available in 9.5x 22" any massy fergason gen?
    22"rims JESUS what must the rubber cost
    but then i looked at the rs-r rims and they do a 9.5x 17" rim, i must say that they appeal to me big time, just think of the rubber i could have across the back end? 275/40/17's no need for the traction button anymore fuc the expense i want to go wide stylee!!!!!!

    There was a guy that used to come on here (cant remember his name) that put 20" alloys on his Omega.
    I think they was for a Merc but modded slightly for some reason.

    I wouldn't go any larger than 19's, these Evo's look fine to me



    The Steinmetz St-1's are 10J at the rear. The japs go for crazy wide styleed Omegas as well, I prefer fat fecker stylee to larger diameter offerings!

    they look great on the big toy........

    evo 5's, just over 1100 notes and ur away, in 18" size.
    the steinmetz rims, yep i heard of them 10x18's, a la lamorgini stylee just thought that 17's would look better, i mean as for the mini's 10x6's in scale for the 18 inch version you got to be talkin 13/14x18, that would look seriously mental.

    its all about price, i'm lookin about a grand for rims and rubber sumit like 6/7x17 front, and 9.5x17 rear, sort of like a lotus omega mk2 lmao probly the fatest bastard on ere....and thats just the car

    I've got 8J front and back, 235/45/17 and 245/45/17's. There isn't much room to play with at the front width wise, so I wouldn't go any wider than that. The back can take what you want provided you find a suitable offset or use as the mad jap Omegas use, spacers.

    stuart.....

    do you know? if the 245's alter the speedo reading? if so i spose 255/40's will go on the rear, had some scary experiance yesterday, traction off and was just passing a beemer...when the back stepped out again
    i dont get any warning...it just happens this is at 40-50mph in the wet. would be nice to put an end to it so the wider the rears the better.
