For the last 2 weeks I have been cleaning the VX as I want to get it show standard. I have just fitted rear alloys to the front, 4 new Toyo tyres all round, alloy indicator stalks and a few shiney bits under the bonnet. A couple of pics

[font="'comic sans ms', cursive;"]Looking very nice Rick. What size tyres did you go for on the front in the end? [/font]

[font="'comic sans ms', cursive;"]If you don't mind me asking where and how much. My rears are above the wear markers and I am fed up with the fronts constantly needing pumping up, so I could also do with replacing all mine. Pm me if you prefer. [/font]

So much betterAimy, feels more stable and planted to the road. Can't believe the difference it makes in both looks and handling.

I know your on 17" wheels but I don't find the steering feels heavy on the 215 on my 16" compared to the 205 that I previously had on Did you need spacers on the front or is it ok with out? I.e catching on full lock?

No it doesn't feel any heavier than before. I also thought it would be chasing and following white lines, camber in the road but it doesn't. I don't need spacers and it doesn't catch on full lock.
