D'oh!! 18x8j. 225/40/18: 17x8j 225/45/17 Does it look odd or am I being wierd? Back into retirement, for now at least . . . Broomy will come out to play next year

And more more secure so it's where she lives. The floor stuff is awesome though going off topic a bit, from regal paints 2 pck epoxy, cheap too for epoxy. Back into retirement, for now at least . . .

Both are 8j Last edited by Broombeastie; 03/04/2014 00:22. Back into retirement, for now at least . . . Broomy will come out to play next year
