Been meaning to post this up for a while just never got round to taking pics of my car clean.
I have uprated my rear Hamann HM2's to a nice beefy 10Jx19. The Dish is absolutely awesome....I was impressed with having 8.5x19 all round but this has given my rear end a few extra inches to say the least!
what do you all think?

Fas - thats another thing I haven't got round to doing! Thing is they have been stuck on good and proper so I need a way to unattach them without leaving any residue on the headlights! I think I might just have to buy new lenses in the end :mad:

new lenses are only £20 each. It's a weird thing. Once you have them, they look awesome, but when you take them off, you realise, they look a WHOLE lot better :)
Mits, I actually like your believe it or not, the CF flows well
;) CF rules :D
Harv, you should be able to use some glue remover or something, may just take a bit of time.

That's the way to do it Harv [cool Rear has to be fatter!!
If you're sticking to Falkens, I would suggest you go up to 285/30. Your tyres are nearly off the rims :eek: Otherwise 275/30 would be just right.

actually Nick you might no the answer to this: any idea which tyres in 265/30 might fit on the rear without rubbing issues? I have had my arches done already for when I had the 8.5's on the rear with Dunlop Sport 9000's on the rear (265/30).
I'm not to impressed with the Falkens to be honest.....a bit too much slip and slide just when you least expect it :eek:
Thanks
Looks like a Road roller from behind!!!
SICK DISHES !!!!!
Nice effort !!!!!

Yeah I agree with peppernick, those tyres look a little stretched to me [hmm , definately needs a wider tyre which will also give you more rim protection.
Other than that, looks awesome. [ok

Looking at the space you've got, I think you can afford to go for 275s. If you want to stick with 265, get one with the heaviest shoulders for filling, Yokohama AVS Sport. Or if you don't mind a bit of the rim sticking out, Michelin PS2s are pretty good in 265/30 guise

hey harv was wondering when u were gunna post dude im they look better on ur car than they did on mine i think [hmm
dude if i were u i would just go for the yokohama's cause thats what i had originaly and they were perfect great grip and perfect lip coverage and no rubbing issues the reason i ended up with those falkens is it was chrimbo i took a screw in a tyre had 2 buy some tyres quick no1 had anything everything was closing and i was forced 2 buy falkens on mytyres.com (the exact same size as my original yoko's) when they arrived i couldnt beleive the how much the wall tapered in :eek: i had already parted with my 350 and had them fitted and wasnt really up for moaning so i kept them for the winter as they are good in the wet.
they had no mention on the site of the tapering was a bit pissed off really but still dude go for the yokohama's the exact size that the falkens are it will look flush.

Thanks for all your comments.
Cris, I remember you saying something about that situation over xmas now. I will look into Yok's when they need replacing probably in about a month or so. I do actually have the Dunlop sport 9000's in my garage in 265/30/19 from my old rims with about 7mm of tread left on them I will try those on 1st, if they fit that should save me a few bob! :D

No I didn't need them as I used the ones off my old rims. But they are starting to get a bit loose so I might have to look into getting some soon?

If you can find blank caps, try these guys (http://www.acromann.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_100&products_id=471) for the decal. I got the BBS ones off them and they last forever.

Nick Thanks for the link - I think that might prove to be very handy!
mistasmiff - I am running Boge springs mate. I definately need more rim protection, I am always worried about the smallest bumps in teh road clipping the outer edge!! :eek:
