Okay chaps - I've searched and found some info but I'm still lacking what I need.

My rear tyres are pretty much ready for replacement and all four wheels need refurbishing (they are, after all, crap) so I'm really tempted just to upgrade to a set of 20s.

I have S600VXR's thread open here with the pics of his 20s (nice) but I can't find the thread saying where he got them - and I know they needed work to fit.

So where do I go? Is it going to be easier to get wheels from Australia?

Oh, I'm looking to increase the width slightly - but not to 285/295 - maybe 265 as my engine is stock! Ta!

Stop messing about and go 285!! its easy apart from rolling the rear arches and in hindsight it would have been alot better to cut the lip off instead. Wheels come from Race Dynamics in Andover and do come in 9x20 which would fit 265 with no arch work.... Speak to Nick and mention me (Roger).

Thanks Roger!

Messing about... Lol. Maybe I could trim the arches instead (had to do that on my Calibra with 19s) and save on paint jobs... smile

That what I said to do, will save all the issues I ended up with although my edge is rubbed out a small amount for that added bit of clearence. smokin
