  1. Oh ok..gotcha.. And yeah true that...I will wait for the rears to be fitted and decide once i see what it looks and feels like
  2. Silly question but humour me...is it okay to top up with a diffrrent brand etc..dont have a clue what is in there at the moment
  3. The picture is 10 inch..i have 9 inch....unless you mean it will almost overlap..and yeah like i said iv already got 255s for the rearTERRY THANK YOU
  4. I would like to clarify a few things with you. Please do not take this the wrong way and THIS IS NOT A PUT DOWN...and while I respect that everyone has their opinions....... .........However since you were quite "animated" with your response I would like to point out that every single manufacturer / website or person I have interacted with have mentioned that a 9 inch rim should have anywhere between a 235 and 255 tyre !! So first of all running a 265 on a 9 inch rim does not meet your own definition of "roadworthy". Richards tyrepower suggested a 225 (without me saying a word about any size) just for your information and I have the email correspondence. So please do not shoot them or we will know it is you !! hahahaa Anyway you rightly pointed out that insurance will be affected with the wrong size tyre and I accept that and thank you for your input. I have ordered 255 35 18 Ku31s from Tempe ($200 delivered) for the record for the rears. They are out of the other sizes at the moment.
  5. Pulling this up from a year ago but did you ever fix this problem....mine started doing this exact same thing this morning
  6. Still in due of a fresh coat of paint then im guessing? We should get OON (is he back in town?) and finally do our photography session !!! I want to get one done as soon as the new rims go on and I tidy up some bits and bobs under the hood.
  7. Thanks people !! Getting KU31s from Tempe - 255 35 18 for $200 each delivered...thought it was an awesome deal so jumped at it
  8. ^^^^ Personally just like the look of a broader / wider tyre at the back. Also more grip in a rear wheel drive would'nt hurt I suppose. Apparently one school of thought (you know who you are) also suggests that a broader rear tyre and skinnier front gives you more stability, helps cornering etc - which I have my doubts about - hahaa... BUT to answer your question...just looks really Btw....been meaning to ask - still got the red devil?
  9. Ordering my tyres this week from Tempe......Ku31s - 235 40 18 and 255 35 18 (some really awesome pricing). Getting them fitted and balanced and will also get a wheel alignment done down at Killer Kustoms itself. Went in this morning for a peak - they look awesome !!
  10. Heya fellas, Where do you get your tyres from? Been doing some research (and my homework) and ordering online is a good $200 odd cheaper for the sizes I want. Is there a catch? Ozzytyres, Tempe - awesome deals Taleb Tyres - not too bad either Please share your thoughts / advice etc etc...happy to be "shown the ropes" Thanks
  11. Before they get put back together....
  12. Thanks fellas... And more pictures..cmon people
  13. Still waiting for my wheels to come back...(its killing me ) Also need help with tyre sizing.... Rims are 18x9s Was going to get 235 40 and 255 35 but a certain part of me still thinks 225 45 and 245 40 is the better way to go. I like the look of streeeeetch Good thing I hav'nt ordered them yet. So looking for opinions but I want pictures to help me decide (as far as possible please)
  14. I have 18x9 inch rims. Deciding what size tyres to get. Car is lowered on king springs Tending towards 235 40 and 255 35 OR 225 45 and 245 40 Give me opinions but I want pictures to help me decide.... I like the look of stretch to be honest but want something "reasonably" practical as well. PICTURES ARE KEY..so put them up if you have any (please)
  15. Last time I am sending pictures on my phone....... My silly phone screen displays colours that are SO different to what you see in real life / on a computer. I sent a picture of what I wanted as a final product thinking that the colour was perfect as per my phone - turns out it was symons gold and totally different to what I really want. Thankfully the boys @ Killer Kustoms were smart enough to pick up on it and thankfully confirmed before going ahead. This is the picture I sent from my phone This is the colour I actually want - subtle and not in your face Top secret gold. Looks a little dark because this is inside their office but looks nice in natural light.
  16. These are what inspire me..and helped me finalize my colour choice.....CANNOT WAIT FOR MY WHEELS TO COME BACK !! and lest we forget this little baby....
  17. Dropped off the wheels for refurbishment this morning........ Lee !! ANNNNNNDDDDD.....these bad boys rocked up
  18. Not mine....but does this count !! lol
  19. You no get ma seat cover niggaaaa !! Update: Ordered these this morning.... Could not find bolt on spacers in less than 15mm so ordered a set (see below) where I get the two 15mm bolt ons that I need and a few extras to play with when "posing" !!
  20. Thanks mate There was a time when I was tempted to go with your setup (black on black looks killer too). ITS MY BIRTHDAY !! Went for a trial fit this morning to my local tyre place to finalize sizing etc. As of now I am going to run 235/40R18 fronts and 255/35R18 rears Will be ordering my new tyres soon. Also, want the car looking the way I want it now so going to run 10 or 12 mm bolt on hubcentric spacers on the fronts to get the wheels looking a tad more agressive. (provided I find some - only found 15s so far) There is no way in hell I am running slip ons - say what you may! Will not have to change the factory bolts as the rims have space for the protrusions (yay!!)....so might end up running spacers on the back as well. (P.S. I am aware of the legal stuff). Stay tuned.
  21. Thanks man........plan to still keep the silver lip though even if I do powder coat the centres. I like blue
  22. Test fitting.........Teasers.......................... Best picture I could get before it got dark
