Re: The Battleship, Williams, lowering dilema??
Whats the offset on the front lotus wheels dude? i'm sure a solution can be made the offset of the mini wheels is wrong though on decent size tyres, Dish and volvos does work, just need cleverly designed wheels with normal offset and dish....

Offset mungus.
Unlucky with the lowering probs dude.
Nil desperandum.
We shall overcome.
Re: The Battleship, Williams, lowering dilema??
Adam- not sure what offset the Lotus rims have, shall check later.
Could go all JDM style, run the Lotus up front with Minilites out back? * Edit- No was thinking they were also 13's for a minute there, which they aren't
Still think banded steels would look sh*t hot though.

I always hoped Celica Supra alloys would fit a 300, but alas they're 4x114.3 aren't they?

I'll pass on that one, can't remember, but no they don't fit.
I know i had a pic of them balanced in front of the fitted wheels somewhere and they would have looked amazing but i can't find it for the life of me, been all through my photobucket and all my old posts on here, alas no luck.

Yeah your car looks ace on the 15's, hell the whole car is amazing.
