Thanks again for the feedback guys!

The wheels are the 5 x 112 18" x 8". Probably not the widest available, but I didnt want to go too "fat". still about an inch wider per wheel than standard. That gives me 4" more road grip all around....

I have spoken with Dave re springs, and will prob get these soon. Or another place has offered to build a custom set-up including bushes etc... not sure yet. Have to wait a week or so to get this done. (it is killing me at the moment looking at it so high!!
