Stanced XUD Estate (IT'S ALIVEEEEahahaha)

Scott, merci beaucoup for the stickers, will be going on the motor when I find somewhere to put them!

Update time again, things move fast in the world of me. Weeks of doing nothing then BOOM, a cheque from the Inland Revenue arrives at my doorstep. My first thoughts, naturally, were "m0ar poke", so I found a chap on eBay in the 'states selling wheels in a fitment you plain just can't get in the UK.

XXR 530's with offset ET0.



Oh and a rather awkward stud pattern what with being 4x100, so I needed some adapters for the hubs. And adapters add m0ar poke, namely another 25mm. So that's 16x8.25 with 195/40/16 and ET-25. Lovely.

I found a set of adapters on Wheel Whores, a chap had some made from billet ally for his escort mk1 becauseracecar but was told by the FIA that he wasn't allowed to run hub adapters, so his £170 custom machined ones are now heading to me for the paltry sum of £70 and they haven't even been used before.

Finally.. poke. It's getting a bit ridiculous, willtheyfit tells me they'll poke about 30-40mm MORE than the Dares I have currently. Now that's downright illegal by anyone's standards. So I also have a nice set of bolt on arches winging my way to me as we speak to ensure Mr Vosa doesn't have a field day. It also means the ridiculous stretch at the rear is coming to an end i'm afraid, lost scene points but gained safety (possibly?) and more confidence in corners

Watch this space for some angle grinding goodness...
