Oh right, I don't have the receipts though nor the bits that broke off, nor the threaded body anymore haha!
I'll not be using them again anyway

Ah, I didn't have the paperwork either as they were on the car when I got it but I did send the bits back. I reckon they may even accept your picture as proof.

Looks good, you got to trim much off the inner arch? Rubbing issues? Get some more pics!

I've only had one rubbing issue on the OSR and that was coming to the bottom of a hill and accellerating away so not needed to trim anything yet.
In all honesty it's making me want more width on my tyres now too!

More pics will come I promise it's crying out for a good polish up and clay bar first though!

I tried a couple pics tonight but my phone is terrible at the light so you can't see the wheels properly underneath the car!

Now I've had it mot'd and got chance to use it properly on the road I've noticed some rubbing issues.

Firstly glad to say that speed bumps have been fine with no rubbing at a normal speed.

The main running problem is dips in the road.
Mostly at speeds over 40mph any dip that causes the suspension to compress scrubs the wheels.

Now thankfully it's only been a few times on the way to work but back roads in Cumbria, while fun, aren't the best kept!

What's the best way to remedy this rubbing?
Tbh I am wanting it lowered too but this will obviously exacerbate things.

What have the people with the 8 and 9j wheels done?


Also got a brand new primed front grill for spraying and I'll then get to modifying the original to take the bars out at a later date.

I'll need to report back later as not driven the zed with the 8js, only to and from MOT test station. Expect some more work to make me happy, did some arch rolling but the rears are no good as little give available. Really needs some fettling as mine is lower than standard but not as low as it once was! Front arch liners removed and rolled okay. Full lock I get rubbing but who doesn't?

I don't get rubbing on lock but widening it out 20mm each side would mean it wouldn't rub on lock!

Are you running without the arch liners now then?
