Have you thought about 195/45/15?

Posted: **Sun Feb 19, 2006 6:24 pm**

coz most people go for 195/45/15!

)

The lowering 60mm is planned, and thats just the tyres the wheels came with...

Scrubbing on full lock aswell as with passengers then?

Is it the inside of the arch were talking about here?
Rather than like the top if i have passengers etc?

Would i solve the problem if i used a heatgun and moulded the arch lining?

However, man it rubs like ****!! When turning, not sure whats up... maybe camber or somethings out.

thought urs did rub tho phil?

yes it will defo rub with that profile of tyre, you would need a thinner tyer eg a 45 profile.

these moments are when your face cringes....

Have you tried using a heat gun to reshape the arche's like Phill did?

I take its that were mine would rub, on the inside of the arch? I should have any problems with speed bumps, but reckon a 45mm drop would ve best (i often have a full car) ?

Cheers!

you see i have no friends so its a win win situation

joking apart i regularly argue the case that i can't take 4 other people in my car because some crazy fool has cut my springs!

i used to like catching my exhaust on speed bumps especially infront of barry boy corsa and novas!
they'd laugh coz i made a funny noise and i'd laugh coz they're car is not low enough to catch a speed bump
