Obligatory post to make c.a.r's reply appear as this forum is a shitebag and tells me it doesnt exist
EDIT that's better, stupid forum. Wheel bearings? Pfft. They become a consumable item haha.

Just a thought but surely those wheels are drilled for 2 PCDs and look like 4x100 and 4x108.
They are going to look AMAZING though!
You still need to paint all the area behind the cooler black so it dosent look so unfinished.

You need to stop pressuring me
All will be done in due course, once the wheels etc get here the car will be taken down to the in laws' house to be propped up on stilts again, then the tyres will be taken off the Dares and put on the XXR's. And the arch modification will begin...
As for PCD, they're 4x100 and 4x110, no 4x108. All the sellers ive seen have listed them as a choice between 4x100 and 4x110 so not actually sure if they're multifit? The Dares I have on are multifit too though so not actually arsed aesthetically.

The wheels have been despatched, next two weeks will feel like a kid approaching Xmas
Oh, anyone want to hazard a guess at what I did with this bike suspension I had lying around?

The new wheels are 4x110??! Wobble bolts will be so much cheaper than adapters, or am I missing something?

f*ck! I did not think of wobble bolts. Hang on while I check fitment...
(btw the ones I bought were the last set in 4x100 and not sure if they're multifit, were advertised as one fitment...)

Would save a lot of hassle and dolla. Fingers crossed for you that they are 4x110 :-)

Dunno, either way it's not the crappy PSA one. M12x1.25 bolts too? WTF decided that was a good idea? Do you know what I was quoted for countersunk bolts to fit adapters? £110.

Yep, here's another mare:
The bargainous PCD adapters I got are going to be a headache to get to work. Centre bore is 63mm as I feared, so old ford side. Outer bore is ok as can use spigots, but the inner bore will need machining which means more £
Also the holes for the 4x100 fitment aren't tapped, they're 12mm drilled straight through, with countersunk bits on the back so it looks like they'll take press in studs for the wheels, f*ck knows where to get them though!

So with these arches are you planning on colour coding them?

Dunno, part of me wants them satin black to match the wingmirror trims but.. everything else is colour coded.
Seen as though the front bumper's a mess i'm probably going to leave them satin black, goes with the "give a f*ck" mentality i guess

Nope, went for a different set in the end. They're XXR 527's and yes they come in 16" but not 4x108
I've ordered the 530's but they're gonna take a lot of work to fit!

an engine may soon become a service item then :p
lucky they're so cheap and easy to change though
big turbo is the only way with an xud, totally transformed my old car and that was an old t25, that turbo should be awesome

Been looking for a 2056 for ages for a good price, Toby's was a relative steal and looks immaculate. Now to look into adapter plates and oil lines, then game on!
