What size are your wheels?

PD A really beatiful car!!! It's so lovely!!!

John had them widened so we could get close to tucked as possible. They are 10x5.75 I believe. had the inside if the wheel widened to stretch the tyres a bit to clear the front wings. :)   the rear, we are running standard drums.

Love the look of that motor in the engine bay. Seriously cool! Is that clubman estate in the background hiding something cool in its engine bay?

It is my 76 Estate that is sadly not done yet, hopefully spring this year. But it has 1999 Honda Civic D16y8 engine with Greddy td04h Turbo kit. I just got the new SSR MkIII 13x7 and 13x7.5 for it and will be slipping those on soon. Can't wait to give it a rip down the street. Should be fun at 215bhp or so.
