Dan with the big brakes not sure if you will get 17's over the Callipers...
Some guys have to put on standard AU brakes on the rear to run at the drags with a smaller rim...
I just had a set of 16x8 steelies made up with Mickey Thompson radials which are in short supply...you get the M/T in 17's but there 275 wide, there is a guy here selling Territory rims very cheap..
If you need help with the tyres send me a PM, George Haddad looks after us with M/T...
Any way congratulations if you got that car for what it was offered to me for, it’s the buy of the decade...Enjoy it...

cool, thanks for the offer.

Im not sure what he offered it to you for but it was a great buy thats for sure. Its an awesome feeling having a car thats finished and doesnt need anymore cash spent on it.

Ill look into another set of wheels for the back, I cant wait to see how she runs!

Out of respect to the previous owner, I dont want to say.

Lets just say for the price I paid I felt bad driving it away.

Oh really. Wow. To feel that way after getting such a car must mean you got it for less than its really worth.

Its rides awesome! Its a bit stiff but still much better than the EB. I love everything about it, except the front bar being a bit low bothers me. It scrapes everywhere.
