Has anybody fitted 15/6.5J wheels to series 3 roadster? I have read an article where they say the tyres can foul on the tubs when loaded of over bumps . Is this true. Is there any mods you can do. I would really like to fit wider wheels but could be an expensive mistake. Please all advice appreciated

Yes I would agree. I had my evoque voted a couple of years ago . Its well worth it. You do have to leave the paintwork for a week or two before getting the job done . I will be having my ots done this winter after a external respray .

I am considering changing the flat wooden steering wheel on my ots series 3 to semi dish type. Anyone got any picks or opinions ?

Does anyone have a car club pass for Saturday who is not going . I am desperate to go and have vehicle pass . I have a Sunday ticket but would like to go Saturday . Many thanks everyone

Will our v12s be ok on this new fuel ?
