Wheels!!! Finally, I took my time but i'm getting there. Still need roof basket and fairing.
Hopefully have tyres on these and fitted tomorrow.

15x8 +25 all round. Will be running a 5mm slip on in the rear to flush it out.

Thanks mate

Still deciding on tyre sizes. Thinking of 195/45/15's, stretched but nothing crazy. Any suggestions are appreciated!

195/45 will be reasonably stretched.
Let me know what size/brand etc you get?

This is for all different stretchs:

On an 8", 195/45:

I've ended up going with 195/50's for that reason, had to special order the 195/45's and they were a tad expensive. Repco and supercheap have baskets to suit these racks, but i'm trying to find an older cheaper basket at the moment lol.

Here's some pics, still needs the basket and fairing to top it off, maybe a bit lower to! But its looking much better. Put the new number plates on aswell, wont be to everyones tastes but i'm very happy with it so far!

Drive home from getting tyres involved a bit of scrubbing, resulting in this
