OK, I've just been and collected my wheels and tyres from Spanners. (Thanks spanners and simon) so im now rolling on slots... Kind of.

me and harry just found an issue though...

When the car bounces it looks at though the tyres are going to rub on the inner wing/ a panel. There 145's

Attached is a photo of the distance harry has, he has 135s and turned arms.. Will turned arms make a difference?

I'm pretty sure Harry's tyres are a lot lower profile than yours

They are but it cant be that much of a gap can it? And these came from Crooks racer. So was about the same height?

my 175s dont catch the wings, just the exhaust (JEremy is 4" wider though but surely only on outside)

Turned arms do move the wheel forward, I found that the Ami doesn't scrub anything like as much since I put the arms on, the bamboo was the same.

Am i next in line? :? :roll:

Raised her up a little bit. Seems ok, but catches on full lock.

Does anyone know what the best psi is for the tyres... ? They're 145/15 78s

Yesterday the wheels on the front both seemed to be knocking around all over the place. And it feels as though it has body roll as though its stock height at front?

The 155 Vredesteins never fouled the wings on the 4x4. Exhaust, yes. Suspension arms, yes. Wings, no.

OK, it wasn't lowered - but we were using full suspension travel.

:shock: Really? The 78 is the load rating and the S is the speed rating. The number after the / is normally the profile as a percentage, which isn't 15 unless they're rubber bands. Do they have a profile written on them or are they 'full profile'?

they will be 145/80/15s i think, as Joolz says, the 78s has nowt to do with the size and is the speed/load rating.

I'm surprised that they're rubbing, 145/80 only have a fractionally bigger diameter than 125 Michelins. But as Russ said earlier, modified arms will move the wheels forward.
