i now have Kei Force 10's - 7.5x18s (et45) with 215/35 tyres.






after measuring the car against my gf's standard SXI when i had some old SXI wheels on it was down 50mm at the front and 90mm at the back.

I have modded the rear arches of course - all the lips on the rear arch spat and rear bumper arch have been cut off, all the bolts on the rear arches are gone (bonded on now) - some of the arch liner cut off.

....and it still rubs a little bit but ah well

Love the wheels and it looks good, but i think it'd look better if the back was raised so it matches the front.

Looking at the sidekirt it looks pretty much level to me, the front looks higher as it has a bigger arch than the rear due to the front being the steering wheels

i don't think they're too big, i bet it'll handle shit, and feel every cat eye like it's a bloody pot hole but if thats the look you want thats what you have to put up with, would raise it.

They look fine, i think 18's look spot on on the C.

I would slightly raise the back a bit tho or lower the front more.

Also watch for the air leaking out the tyre, my khans were bad for small bumps allowing the air to come out. Sometimes had to reinflate everyday!!
