Hi Newbie here.

 

With another kid on the way, an MPV is a must. A few questions.

 

Does Ford make an aftermarket bodykit for the Galaxy?

 

What is the biggest size wheel you could fit on a Galaxy and what offset do I require?

 

Any info, much appreciated.

 

Thanks

without getting stupidly expensive tyres the biggest you wanna go is 18x8.5 mine are on an ET35 but I think ET45 is the standard iirc

 

tyres for my wheels (Khumo Ecsta) cost me

Khumo Ecsta I used to run those but I found they wore a little to quick for my bank balances likeing :) I now run Mitchelin sp2's they may be a touch dearer but so far I'm getting a higher milage from them!

mind you I only run 225/45/17's and get the Mitchelins @

I'm not rating the Khumo's personally compared to the Eagle F1's I had on my previous Leon and even the standard Pirellis that I got on the bamma. They lack grip big time

Wow....Soem good advice and lots of options out there....A lot more than I thought.

Now I can sell by Cossie in the safe knowledge that an MPV can look good!

a couple more body kits........ http://www.oettinger.com/

and a uk stockist........ http://www.roadandsport.co.uk/

have you got any pics of the Oettinger kits cant find anything on the site?

 

I get a discount at RSD so that could come in handy

 

Need some good tyres too getting a switchable remap soon that should see 176 horses so wheel spin will be greatly upped in the rain :P

I very nearly bought the grill and twin light conversion last year at GTI international it was only the fact of filling the large round hole where the VW logo sat that put me off!
