      • Test fitted a 8.5"x 18" et43 ACS Type III racing wheel on the front to see what the clearance was like and surprised that there is more clearance to the face of the Brembo caliper but of course less to the side than with the 19". (20mm spacer fitted)

                    No, I still prefer the look of the 19" . Not sure what to do with the 18" set but should really sell them

                          225/40/18 which is one of ACS's recommended sizes for a 8.5" wide wheel

                              • Rear washer nozzle appears to be corroding inside due to amount of rusty water that came out of it when unblocked so bought a new replacement.
                                Just clips onto wiper arm.
