Im thinking if i run at an offset of ET 15 or something around that area on 8J front and 9j rear on stretched tyres, it should look pretty good for the shows :P

Is it lowered cos ET15 on 8 and 9" are gonna hit the outer arch imo......

205 - section tyres are verging on the over-tyred for Omega B.

grip is the opposite of handling. Increase grip, lose handling.

Handling is what happens when you exceed the maximum level of grip. ;)
Why anyone would want 9J wheels (with suitably sized tyres) on a car with 200bhp is beyond me tbh. :-\

I look at it as why do anything to a car then,  its about being different, like i said im not getting rid of the standard wheels, i just want the car on some stanced wheels for the summer, plus to add omega's are hardly the best handling car as it is and my omega is now running 256bhp, but its not like i would go stupid speeds on 9j wheels, its just for the shows, i have a fully tracked corsa b for handling lol  :y

Possibly. Suspect I've read 10's of thousands of threads, and my memory is, errr, "badly affected by excessive mobile use in the 1990s" ::) ;D
