Lol, Ramon....

Lovely lovely car by the way, Steve

How well do those 245 wheels spin in the rear? Any rubbing or scraping to the arches?

I think you can use 255/40-17 tyres without any rubbing the rear arches if use std vitesse height spring at the rear.
I have got std vitesse height spring at the rear and run with 235/45-17 without proplem, and there is lot of room (say about +1inch) to shock absorber and ~0,5inch to arches.
But if use 60mm (30mm lower than vitesse) lower kit, then there can be some touching proplem to arches those 245/40 or 255-40 tyres?
I have got those 60mm lowering spring in my garage, but i think i dont ever fit them, because i have got too mutch ground touching then..
And all those touching proplems depends wheel offsets..

Very very nice! Not too keen on the door speakers though, but it's still a lovely looking car!
Nice weels too...
