 haha im going to but trying to find a set of 4 stud 16" is causing difficaulties. even if they are 4x100 i can get them re drilled but trying to get 5 stud re drilled to 4x108 places are being a bit funny about it. trying to find some 16" gold of bora steels but i think they are 5x112 if i remember correctly. my mate who works at a breakers has 3x16" 4 stud steels but they want £40 each i am after something dirt cheap because they will be getting cut up re welded and painted so not fussed on condition lol.

 16's with a 50 profile and stretch would be sickkkkk! Quite hard to find size though... just go on a website saying wheel pcd, then search for wheels that way. Bora wheels are 5x100 as i have one Wink The other option is to get spacers/adapters then can get anything you want tup

 i looked into that. i know ford PCD is 4x108. and most places do not like making 5 stud to 4 stud conversions it will be easier converting my hubs to transit connect hubs (5x10Cool and then getting 5 stud steels as the new focus comes with 16" steels 5x108. BUT i found out the old galaxy has 4x108 16" steels so going to try and get me some of them. Smile 50 profile PFFFT!!! 195/45/16 all around on the 8s and 9s Smile

 Ahh that sounds alright then! Oooo! I just thought a 50 would fill the arch out a little more, but 45 would look cool with some more lows Wink

 the car will not physically go down anymore haha. subframe sits 38mm from the floor coilies down all the way at the front. bumpstops cut in half and helper springs removed ofcourse who uses helper springs anyway!!!

and at the back the adjuster plates have been thrown away. rubber mounts thrown away and the spring had a coil removed. bodgetastic Smile
