Nice, they suit it well, I thought 18" might be too big on a Calibra, but actually I think 17" would be too small

I wouldnt bother lowering it tbh, doesnt need it - nice small gap all round the tyre, it looks fine and any lower youll be *really* risking some scuffing and rubbing on a typical british road!!

Lets hope those Brembos fit...

Binary Shadow · May 28, 2006, 22:15:56 PM

*cough* theres a small cock up with the tyres, they are 225/40s but should have been 225/35s lol so once i get the right tires on a drop should be ideal.

the brembos will fit if i ever find some discs.

nowt wrong with my jeans, just the roll in the car making them look weird

nice wheels, but i really detest multi-fit holes in them... look like you walked into halfords and got the first thing you saw.

I never knew Burger King had a racing team.

Is it to compete with the McDs?

alloys made in england believe it or not

I like them! But I think you need:
-Bigger breaks
-lowered just a tad
-Widen the arches if its causing a problem with lowering it

going to drop the profile on the tyres from 225/40 to 225/35 for more clearance, lower 35mm with koni adjustables and eibach springs, going to fit my brembo 4 pots with 330mm discs

The style is nice enough, but Im also a "multi hole" hater.

Arent they unroadworthy cos the tyres sticks out past the arch!? They look alright, multiholes looks a bit gash and could do with a slight drop maybe roll the arches out a bit to cover the tyre.

Tell that to half the cars on the road with the wrong offset and the jeeps with the fat tyres. i need em to stick out a little way to go over the brakes im planning.

Once i get the lower profiles on i will drop it.
