@Bono872, just thinking are yours currently fitted to the TT or could I try 1 on when I get the springs out? Yours obviously have the correct sized tyres.

I'm not sure :sob:

I really think I should at least try 1 on first before ruling them out. I realise this has turned into a testing the water thread but it wasn't my intention- I'm just easily swayed!

Lol I kinda figured that reading your indecisive posts. If you do decide to sell them let me know as I'd be interested in them.

I'm getting tyres fitted to 2 of them on Friday to enable a test fit, and if it looks like I hope, wheels and springs will be staying put.

I'll confirm on Friday.
You dangled the carrot, and just like that you've yanked it away.

Peer pressure got the better of me :worried:.

To be fair when I dug them out of the inlaws shed the other night they are in far worse condition than I remembered.

Lyons! Hello sorry only realising I didn't reply. You can borrow two of mine for a test fit if you wish- can take them this weekend but will need back by following weekend?

225 I suspect. I've too many wheels/tyres I've forgotten. I'm not handy to them atm. Either 215 or 225. Certainly not any wider

I can't believe you have Fat 5's AND Tarmacs. You make me sick.

Will have a think about a plan and let you know tomorrow. Could maybe even try a pair on in your yard on Thursday or something.

:p And RSIIs, and the satin black keskins plus standard wheels. need to offload some.

I'm absolutely flat out with work this week, But happy to drop them off and collect another day when you're done with them/convinced. No major rush but I will need them back by next weekend at latest. Sure let me know! May be working Saturday too could try them in the yard as its quieter then
