I just painted my A9X in a 7 x 7 and wish I had a 16 x 9. I felt like a basketball player working on a Barina.

You could be right..the ole eyesight aint what it used to be...

I know the pic makes it look worse but the 250/585-15 is at the front and the new 290/625-16 is behind.
I think I might struggle to get these suckers under the guards...I will fit one and trial fit it...might have to go back to 265/595-16 on the rear.
These are BIG! Doug from Dunlop says they are for Sport Sedans...weight of the car is about right but they are soft..which suits what I want. Static..the beads are 12" apart!...on to 10" rims....

Its actually fully open to get 350/450 crack pressure to the rear but is available if I need to cut the rear back. I reckon it will be spot on and I didnt want to piss around plumbing it into the cabin. I have 250 acres of new development and bitumen across the road to do any testing so will get it spot on and leave it.
Tomorrow I will bleed and finish it, rear 16s are done...I will also cut the roof and buff it to a high polish tomorrow and after that it needs an oil change brake adjust and I am pretty well ready for Mt Cootha so will start back on No.2 car.

Tried the 290s...they are just too big..... after talking to Sagman and 82911 decided to swap them out for 265s. Dont want to cut a tyre and end up in the fence....did that once...ugly!
