So suns out time to get these winter wheels off as they are too soft and squidgy for these temps.

Love the special edition wheels and the stance with the car lowered and spaced. The wheels really fit the arches.

Iā€™ve also ditched the P Zeros as they are dreadful and gone for Michelin Pilot Sports 4S. The do sit wider in the rim with a huge lip to protect the alloys.
I did read on another forum that these tyres can rub the arches due to the ā€˜squarer profileā€™, but Iā€™ve not had any issues so far with mine despite how it looks in the pics !!

What size of tyres did you fit? Assume those rear wheels are still 9.5J?

Been waiting for someone with 25mm spacers to go PS4 S, they look a little too close for comfort but the car looks so much better with those wheels! Let us know if they rub as I only went 20mm spacers for this reason alone.

I fitted MPS4S last week and have 25mm spacers, and lowered on Eibach Pro springs. No rubbing here.

So continuing with the theme of emptying my wallet not only has the car benefitted from new rear tyres itā€™s also had its first service at the Ford main dealers, tax and insurance this month. All in all an expensive month.

On the topic of the ford main dealer I will be writing in to complain as theyā€™ve managed to damage my wheel but and scuff the alloy too. Not impressed!!
12 spline socket that looks like.... done the same with mine!

Early days admittedly but with the kids in the back and speed bumps no signs of any rubbing yet.

Really liking the look of the PS4S tyres. Hope they grip as well as everyone says.

Hmmm, not sure about the V8 badge! I think yours is my favourite car on here, but this is a bit too Halfords for me. Sorry :shock:

Ha no worries. The badges look much better in the flesh, but I would say that !

Maybe a few more shameless pictures will help convince you otherwise ;-)

This race red really comes to life in full sun...!

Thanks

Funny you should say that Iā€™m still undecided what colour to do them in to be honest.

Was thinking red, gloss black of graphite grey.

Need to see some others in the flesh to help me make my mind up

Very minor update today finally got round to fitting the front splash guards. Apologies for the dirty car in the pics I didnā€™t have time to clean it prior to install.

Just deciding whether to fit the rear ones too or not.

The textured finish is a really good match to the OEM sideskirt finish and they are good sturdy fitment.
