Anyway, its good for me! I'll give them a go at the weekend.
Thanks for your help.
Just out of interest, what offset are your wheels? | He's most likely installed a big brake kit, as that low offset should definitely clear the OE calipers. I'm running a 40mm offset with 18x8.5" wheels and a 10mm spacer to clear the big brake kit which gives me a 30mm offset. This set-up required major arch work in the rear and major negative camber in the front. So, I repeat 13mm is the wrong offset for your ti. Cheers, __________________
