Cheers Scott! Yea didn't know if they'd work, but at the money it was worth a shot.
Fooks are in me garage - Thinking of giving them a polish and re-detail, and sorting some different tyres for them.
Also got some Porsche pattern spacers for when Fuchs go back on, as I'll be changing to 5x130 rear drums to push them out a little - Fuchs tucked far too much at the back.

The Teledials are spot on though, really happy with the stance. The 7's on the back fill the arches so well.

I'm surprised how good those wheels look, but they do. The deep lip on the back really works.

Yea, I originally bought a set of 6's, but decided they wouldn't fit on the back; so looked at the offsets available and got a nice set of low offset 7s which went on lovely.
Managed to get some nice pics today:

Very nice indeed

What tyre profiles you running ? hows the back been lowered?

Hi Tom,

Back is straight axled with adjustable springplates; I've just wound them down pretty much all of the way. Thinking of going 1 spline down then fine tuning with the adjusters soon, instead of just having adjuster maxed out.

Front tyres are 165/50s and rears are 205/60s.
