Thanks Rob.
My main concern was getting the wheels to fit, then to look half decent.
Achieved both so am happy.

Nice setup!
 How does the car feel on those wheels compared to the old setup? Do you get more bump steer on turn in or does it just grip up better all the time? Any downsides at all like understeer under throttle and turn in?

Thanks Dylan.
 
The car has so much grip now!
Turn is immediate without any ploughing.
The rear doesnt lose grip easily unless you are stupid with throttle application in a corner.
The car has had understeer most of the time I have owned it.
It only started oversteering, pretty wildly I might add, with worn rears after the recent tune to 331rwkw.
Subsequently I upgraded the rears to semi-slicks and it immediately resumed understeering. :(
With  255 front and 285 rear  semi slicks it is very grippy and the balance is neutral and controllable , it can finally put down all the power much earlier exiting a corner instead of waiting for a straight.
The chassis now matches the power and the driving experience isnt dominated by the turbo torque.
The downsides are, the tyres are really noisy and hum at higher speeds and pick up rocks and debris and fling them everywhere and the expense of replacing the tyres has gone up exponentially.
Gotta pay to play...right?
