Hi could you give me some info on the make and ofset ect.Cheers Richard.

Hi Richard, yep, they are inovit spins, 9.5x22, 40mm offset, with a 72.6 hub, with 5x115 pcd.
It was the tyres that were the pig!!! theres only 4 sizes nearly all needed spacers, except 1, but i didnt like the profile size, i was 'lucky'!!! that my speedo was 4mph out at 70mph!! from factory, so i was able to calculate the rolling circumferance to bring speedo back to read 70mph at 69mph, geeky or what!!!!

 

[yzfrichie]

Are the tyres 285x35x22.Cheers Richard.

 

[cusiphil]

hi mate, no i opted for the 265/35 x22, a bit of meat on the wall, but about 16 per cent of the rolling circ. the 285 will rub!!

245/30x22 is the same roll as original, but the side wall is v thin, and with the 'smooth' road in wales, i choose the larger profiles, i used 3mm spacers all round, as there was a 1mm rub on right hand lock, not left tho?? the whole look is close on both locks, but all fine, even fully loaded, tyres from black circles . com

, highly recommended, orded 4.15pm, arrived 9am following day, postage is £11 for 1 or 4 tyres, £75 ea???

I think a number of the speedo's must be out on Captivas as my Sat Nav hits 50 when the dial reads 55, and at 70mph the dial reads 81!!!

 

[bigiainw]

Mine reads +2 or 3 which is about standard. Drove a peugoet 5008 yesterday which was a full 8mph slow on the speedo comp=ared to the sat nav at 70mph indicated (ie, sat nav said 62)!

 

[rn-newforest]

Useful to know when driving in average speed camera areas which is why at SATNAV 50 I am passing everyone it seems.

 

[cusiphil]

Has anybody been 'caught' in the average speed cameras yet??

 

[yzfrichie]

Looks good why don`t you finsh it off with an Irmscher Lowering spring set and front and rear skid plates

 

[MrX]

cusiphil - can you tell me where you got the rear light covers please?

 

[bigiainw]

They're available on ebay.

 

[MrX]

bigianw - send me a link please. The ones I find dont look like there are the right ones.

Also I have been stung before buying stuff from Hong Kong so would prefer a UK seller. Do you know any?
