      My god I've actually updated my post twice in a year!!!

      I finally got round to getting my new 9's on the back today, I've got two sets for the rears to use with my dry weather tyres (road R888's and Dunlop CR311's x22's) which leaves ne 4 rims to actually mount my wet Michelins on at last.

      I love the wider look of the 9's up until recently Compomotive didn't make a 9 in 15" ML so I'm glad they do now

      Pics to show what I mean

          Predictable - but very funny

          Matt - you sure about that gearbox now?!

            I'm going to have to invest in some 9's for the back of mine I think, I even think you can get genuine minilites in 10's

              Matt, what size tyres are you using on the 9's

              225/45

                Hi Hoog

                I'm sure you know that we are not that blessed with sizes in decent tyres with 15's so I use my 205/50's and they fit a treat on there as you can see. As they have a decent side wall they can take it easily.

                        The arch guards are from Rally and Comp Equip ( Squires ) You have to trim them when you get them but they really save the arches from most of the bad chips
