Picked up some bc Br coilovers and new rota grids. & bought a years worth of dog food for the dogs
Will Buy some tyres when the wheels arrive & that'll do for the fto for a couple months I reckon.

was thinking 235/40 or 225.. Are they going to be stretched on 10" rims? Which most respectable tyre places won't do, or will they be fine?

Mines all going to Haltech ecu/dash/sensors and wiring

Tbh the least you'd want to do is a 235. And I reckon most of your run of the mill shops won't fit even that for you. (worth asking though I suppose). I'd be inclined towards something a bit bigger personally on a 10". 245 or 255 maybe, depends on price with what aspect ratio. But you can get 265/35 for not an excessive amount more than a 235/40. (at least from one tyre list at a place local here)

That's not true, most places would stretch a 235/40 on no problem.

I run a 215/35/18 on front and 225/40/18 on rear and I have 10" all round. Depends on your wheel design though on how easy they bead up.

All ready bought 225/40

I stand corrected. My only experience is Tim though I suppose, and he's fairly moderate.

215 is a fekkin lot of stretch!

Stretch is for poofs. Bag a 335 on in like a real man. f**ken 225 on 10"... f**k sake.

Its more to do with f**king clearance. Although, now that I know it only takes 335 tyres to become a man, I'll keep it in mind.

Yeah but the chances of this car ever being legally registered with you legally licensed behind the wheel??

Crack out the angle grinder man, Mad Max that sh*t out!

Rego isn't ever going to be a problem for me lol I've had the highly illegally modded hilux & the Vz pass blue slips without looking at them. Can also get any defects cleared for a small price.
I will be looking at get everything engineered though, when it comes closer to getting license back.

Lucky enough, I also know a dodgy engineer

Clearance still would've been fine on a 235 though, but whatever floats your goat.
