Hi Darren, Reason being, I've just got some Mach 5's made by Matt lee, I ordered them as 16x9" just checking I've got my measurements right, the rims look wide, measured them and there 9" internal 10" external, so wondering if the 285's will be as I imagined, not looking to small! Regards Wales. Yep going with the mrs, I'm hoping to have the new wheels on too! See if the painters pull their finger out  its only a car!

Stick a size 10 shoe next to it, if it looks like this it'll be a 10" mine are 15 X 10s  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
