cheers for the comments guys, i seriously got 7 safe days as of today to finish my air ride stuff!!!

good to see some progress dom, the wheels really suit the car :)
my 2c though, if you're planning on going for the tucked look then such an extreme stretch isn't really required. IMO stretched tyres work best (and are only really necessary) on a poked setup. If you're going to have it tucked then I'd go for a moderate stretch just to make the tyres look nice on the rim. Once again, just my opinion and a bit of feedback.
Hope those flyers are getting planted all over town too!
hahah yeah those flyers were scattered a loong time ago, ive got like 2 left! haha
basically the whole thing for the wheels was to get the smallest diamater tyre i could find, that happened to be 165/40's :( and turned out i needed to stretch them on to make them fit :( i did initially want 185/35's but they dont have them in the country untill 4 months so thats out of the question, they also needed to NOT sit any further or flush with the rim lip coz if i was aired out, they will hit the guards, remember airbags could potentially tuck rim, so anything wider than rim with foul and i wont get as low as i desired...
205/40's look gay and are too tall for my liking! you gotta remember... its all about going as low as possible, once the cars dropped, you wont even see the tyres :D
