that does look really good 8) if i didnt need my van for work i think i would sell it and get a shorty one they look much better done up and still practical for house/shopping etc :D the front is all focus based! and cant you put the beam on top of the springs at the rear?

Has anyone got pics of ther connect from the side on with 18's or 17's. I cant decide what size to go for and would just like to see how high it rides on both sides. The pics so far with 18's look like you could fit your head in the arches and seen as lowering the connect is a big job at the back I really need to get a good size that looks nice not lowered.

cheers

Ha-Ha........

I haven't seen fandango wheels for ages so this thread has cheered me up no end.

Seriously, as all the combinations shown have the same rolling radius then the wheelarch gap stays the same, no matter what size rims are fitted. Tractor tyres would fill those arches, but the gearing will be affected and your insurance void.

Sounds like to me he was talking about all those who have posted.

Hi Guys, New here :D, Great site with some good info :lol:, A quick question for those of you that have the Focus ST alloys fitted, What bolts are you using?? The standard transit ones or the ones off the focus.

Ive got a Focus ST and the old man wants alloys on the connect so i said if he gets my spare set sprayed up in anthrasite he can run my standard ones :lol:

Thanks, Gary
