What width rims / tyres have you got Pete? Did much material have to come off to achieve full lock?

When I asked minilite for wheels for my griff they said the offset et wasn't available? I would be interested to know what size and width and et you have and how much mod was required to the wheel arch .
Thanks,
Phil.

I like the look verry much.I think on green it would be fantastic.I have to inform myself if they exist in 4 stud and if the fit.i dont want to change something on the body.
www.wheelbasealloys.com seem to have them,www.performancealloys.com also.What do you think?

Hi Pete,
First time i've seen a yellow griff with gold wheels and must say i like it!
What sprint where you competing in and how did you do?
I would also be interested in what tyre sizes your running especially up front?

I put silver 17" speedline turini wheels on my Griff. Might give you some idea of how the gold version may look on yours?

That looks very good indeed! What width and offset rims and tyres are they?

[Hvdp]

very Nice indeed.Et offset ?now in gold!! is it best to put 17 all round?or 17 front and 18 rear?
did they fit without mods to the body?

Hello Hvdp

I put 17" front and rear as I didn't want to start to replace brake discs etc by going up to 18" wheels. The 17" fit the car perfectly and the only adjustment was slightly lower profile tyres on the front to enable full turning lock without the wheels/tyres rubbing the front wheel arch. Tyre size rear - 235/45 front - 215/40. Hope this helps? Cheers
