Hi all,

I’ve just figured out how to host pictures so I’m going to try post them up, please bare with me 

I bought my Omega for the 2nd time on the 14th June this year, I previously owned it from October’18 to March ‘19 when I was forced to sell under duress to buy my wife a new family wagon.

Here she is the day I picked her up.







And she’s very clean underneath.





The 1st thing I did after putting my plate on was change the wheels for the Saab Hammerheads I’d bought for my old Vectra, I liked the way they looked but they’re too narrow for my needs (7x17 et49 225/45/17 tyres)





Then I started gathering parts for the suspension overhaul I have planned & thought the wheels off the family wagon would look good on the Omega so bought some adapters.









Going to put 255/35/19’s on the rear to fill the arch properly.



She’s booked in to the body shop to have a couple of bits of rust sorted & the front bumper/bonnet painted at the end of September, then I’ve got a black interior to fit & the suspension overhaul before I get onto the performance mods.

Thanks for looking

I haven’t fitted them yet but they are the front wishbone front bushes & the rear trailing arm bushes. I know not do do the wishbone rear bushes in poly

The new wheels look great on the Omega.

Marneus, how width are the 19 wheels?

Marneus, how width are the 19 wheels?

They are 8.5 x 19 et 45 all round with 25mm spacers on the back & 22mm spacers on the front so effectively et 20 on the rear & et 23 on the front.

Thanks.

I had a couple of days free this week so decided to make a start on the Omega.
I fitted the Bilstein B4’s & Eibach Pro kit,
Swapped the beige trim & carpet for black & grey,
Fitted my new grille & gave it a wash.
My LSD arrived so it’s progressing nicely 😎









































Picking up some cloth MV6 Recaro’s as I’m really not a fan of old, shiny, slide leather 😂

Spacers all round? 

Surely someone must do a set of wheels with roughly the right offset

They’re PCD adapters & they’re the thinnest I’m willing to run. I already had the wheels so made them fit. I’ll get some that fit without adapters/spacers at some point

It looks gorgeous, but I prefer the original wheels..
