Hi

I have the same wheels in gold and am about to get them fitted to my PPW S2K.

Before i purchased them I was always under the impression that I would need to do some arch rolling front and rear before attempting to fit. However from reading your post it seesm like you have managed to get these fitted without any rolling just rear bumper tab relcaotion and tyre stretch.

Is that the case?

I'm about to book someone in to do my arch rolling before I get tyres, is that a bad idea, should I just go with strtched tyres and - camber? I alreay have full suspension set up. I would appreacite you experince with these new wheels.

Cheers
Frankie

no you have to get yours rolled or else they wont fit at all

Wheels look decent but those tire sizes just look wrong. Move those 225/40 to the front and run a 255/35 rear. It should fit fine with rolled fenders and some negative camber and will look so much better.
