Hi Paul, its about time you started this thread :D loads of pictures please and make some of them a bit bigger...
Looking at your "phat" 8) tyres yesterday, Im now looking at some 225 to fill out the arches. Id love to have a decent lump in mine, but im not sure I could afford the run it anymore :oops:
Anyway, look forward to seeing you at North Weald

Have you had them rechromed, there looking mint, I like the blue 8) .
I wanted bfg's, but they don't list many larger tyres on their site... I was going to use the bfg profiler2's which I have just had fitted to my car, but it seems they they dont make a 225 :(
Do you know what bfg tyre is the large one youve got there?

no not re-chromed just cleaned up and 2 pack laquered :wink:
only 225 i can find in 14" is toyo proxes, have you looked on black circles .com, also camskill tyres.co.uk(i think) falkern ze512 are reasonable money i worked out a set of 4 at £150.00 delivered to your door :)
but i have given up at the mo and put me old ones back on.
bfg,s are radial ta as used for yank cars, spoke to northants tyres today as one of my 265s is perished they want £174.44 each delivered to my door ouch :(

i think only difference to yours is this axle is narrower and maybe shock mountings,
do yours face backwards :?:
