Tried em on for size & they went straight on with no rubs or fowling . I have to say that they're pretty close to the fuel tank rim though.
Anyway I've splitt them and sent one barrel & one of the lips off to image . They're going to copy the outer lips and make me 4 new ones . The current red centres are being dropped off on Monday for a special paint job

I have been looking at 245/45/16's and there is a pretty good choice .

I used split rim desighns before and didn't have a great experience to be honest. The rims took weeks to turn up and when they did the bolts were missing from the order & I never got refunded however I did email to give them a chance & Maybee supply the 16's but had no reply .

Hmmmm , doesn't sound good ! Well the ball's rolling now so ill have to see what happenes .

YEH it was Harry I spoke to ' he says 2-3 weeks lead time . I can't see how they can go wrong really, but like I say , we'll see .

It's not all about size .....................right

Yeh true ' I have found a good selection from " MY TYRES " but not sure what to go for yet ,Pirelli's , Toyo or Nankang even seem to do quite a good tyre . Gonna be 245's all round though .

Number 7 said:

On my 16 x 9 OZs I went 245 45 at the rear and 225 45 at the front. Not sure 245 45 would work on the front without rubbing somewhere.

What tyres are you on ?

[wedged up]

do they even do a 225/40/16 ?

[wedged up]

And on 9j rims they'll be well stretched . Ive got 225's on my rear 8.5j's at the moment but 9's ??

[wedged up]

Guess I'll have to keep it off full lock then

[wedged up]

I think I've got my tyres sorted . I'm gonna go 225/50/16 on the front . The 50 profile should compensate for stretching them over the 9j rim & 245/45/16 on the rear . Also as the profile is a % of the width they should look the same !
We'll see !!

so ' I found another supplier of these rims in Germany and they are on the way ! The centres are in the paint shop this time as I don't have time to do it myself & I'm getting something a bit special done to them . I keep checking the tracking details every 5 minutes .....you know what its like , I don't need em yet but I just want them !!
