With some hubcentric spacers that'll look even better too!



I quite like the hunkered down look as it is!

It does look good as it is but for me that'd just finish it off!

Be interesting to see some more pics of it at different angles though to get a better idea of what it's like.

 Spacers make a nice difference to steering feel as well. I ran them on the front of my VTS and they gave it some more weight and did seem to help on turn in.

Agree the spacers should make a nice addition.

 So it'll be exhaust afterwards eh...?!

Looking around the site for standard wheels Lee went with 25mm - - Click Here -

But I always remember this Loeb looking fantastic which had 20mm - - Click Here - - not sure if the pics show anymore though but it does on Google - - Click Here -

 I ran 20mm, but that was also on an 8" wheel with 225's. So similar to running 25mm on OEM wheels I would imagine.

I'm quite surprised that it improved feel as in theory it increases the scrub radius & with it increases the kick back. I suppose everything is relative and a small spacer wont change the geometry that much.

Exhaust is always good!
That red Loeb looks nice!

This looked perfect! Tom, didn't you link to a website which calculated the exact offset for any wheel, car & tyre combination?

 You'll love it once it's done though Tom, be worth the wait for the exhaust. Any plans for it yet? I just went for the backbox however I'd say a catback on the THP 150 would make some nice difference. YouTube search some vids of DS3 THPs with stainless exhausts and they do sound great...!

Holiday's instead of modding, I don't know, whatever next...!

Any pics from the DS3Club/C2Club meetup today?

 Looking back at the original pics on the first page, these really are 4X4s in standard form...!

Looks great, Tom, and in those pics even without spacers it looks so much better than standard.

Definitely made my mind up now...
