I had a fella called James in slough do them for £90, I was on a long waiting list, but transit jono helped me jump the waiting list, so it would be worth sending him a message first. I can't find James telephone number either :( its been a while since I talked to him

Only 8" Paul, which should fill out the arches out, I tried some some 9's and they stuck out too far. The biggest BFG T/A's I could get at the time was 245's, sadly 265s like yours are rarely available new or secondhand :roll:
