35

markiii · June 7, 2004, 10:26

go on, the rest of teh spec is?

Anonymous · June 7, 2004, 10:27

215/35x18

markiii · June 7, 2004, 10:27

all round?

Anonymous · June 7, 2004, 10:28

Yep

markiii · June 7, 2004, 10:31

well thats bigger than stock in terms of rolling radius which will slow you dowm, but I dare say teh Torque fo teh turbo will nullify that.

I assume thats why?

but running them all round, no offense but have you driven a midengined car like this hard? thats going to be oversteer city without a front to rear stagger.

If it's for show only then fair enough, but if your planning on driving it hard be careful. that profile rubber won't give you much warning when it wants to go, and it is going to want to go.

same profile all round wasn't my point. same width was.

GSB · June 7, 2004, 10:49

Got to agree, this car doesn't like the same width tyres all round as standard, with a turbo I dread to think how livley its going to be, but suffice to say you wont be getting the best from it. Still, they should wear out pretty quickly, in which case you can re-apply the 20+mm of extra rubber to the rear end to balance things out again.

nice wheels mate, but what spec are the 3 birds at the bottom???

Seems fine to me, chucked it round a few corners over the weekend without any problems.

Thanks for the good comments, cant wait to get the kit on there now, that'll really transform it I think, nothing over the top, nice and smooth, thats the way I like it, pictures will be along soon.

I hope you won't drive it in the rain with those wheels on.
