Hi Skills Senior

Thanks , I think the cover look cool with the new pipes , if you are looking to replace your tyres , I would have a look at getting 275/35/19's for the rears as the standard rear are 255/35/19 & look a bit on the slim side & do not protect your rim fully , The fronts are great at standard size , I would just post a question & im sure that a fellow owner will point you in the right direction as make & prices .


Cheers

Andy

Howdy!

Dumb American question: How do you drive a left side drive car on the wrong side of the road? Or do I have that all messed up?

I think you'll find all our cars are right hand drive cars and as for driving on the wrong side of the road I think you'll find it's you that drive on the wrong side.

Ok seen some rims i like they're 18" so 18" all round from what I can gather I'd need the new rear tires to be 255/40 18 to get the same ride height of 26.03. fronts stay the same.

The new rims are listed as 18 x 7.5 is that ok?
