I have, not a fan either. I'd say you'd have a very hard time convincing a traffic cop that it's safe too. Even if on air and it doesn't touch the arch all the time they tyre still looks to be mounted unsafely.whiteDevil_170 wrote:Iv never seen that before. The alloy protruding so far out the tyre and actually touching the wheel arch.
Personally not a fan of that.

Re: Bagged candy :D
Sits on the arch when you Air out between 10-0 PSi depending on how accurate v2 wants to be, 8.5s on the front but could do with 5mm spacersKrissg wrote:Can you get aired out on rear? Did you go 8.5 up front?
