Got bored with my old Borbet A's

Post by donciuz »

Hi. I was running a set of 16 inch borbet a's. One day I came across a set of 18 inch ones and had to buy them. They are all 8.5 inch wide and 18 offset. I had the dishes mirror polished and fitted tyres 235/50 rear and 215/55 front. I run a TDI so hope this will improve the gearing a little. Here is how they look on the van. The westy is standart height.

My sliding door U bracket is extended by 30mm and it was still rubbing a little when fully open.
