Looking a bit dodgy that tyre mate :blink:

When i did the centre caps on my is200 alloys, the badges were held on by 2 bits of melted plastic on the rear of the caps,
i just cut off the tops and the badges flicked off :thumbup1:

It does, but its not just 1 lexus alloy. Ive got the pair on the back, and although they are 1 inch smaller wheels, the bigger tyre profile means i have the bigger tyres fitted on the back. Its only till tomorrow, im getting a new pair of tyres fitted to the lexus alloys so they fit on the front, (215-40-17). Then ill put my other pair of lexus alloys on the back when i get home.

You are right about the centre caps, i just need to cut the lugs off

Your as bad as me with the wheel collection mate :laugh:

You haven't got a set of 17" 5x100 there? want a set for the celica Big Grin

I just used a hot soldering iron to remove the bits of plastic on the caps mate, then popped the badges off? :thumbup1:

The tyre hits the lower spring seat on the strut. Most cars with bigger rims will almost certainly have coilies fitted

Yeah i had to go to Duxford yesterday for a conference, so the front of the car is covered in dead flies.

Only cheap and nasty budget tyres for now. When i get round to refurbing the wheels im thinking i will get a decent set of tyres all round providing i can afford it
