You could run 8' wide but would need a lower numbered offset somewhere between 0-10 so they clear the strut. You will probably need arch extensions as probably stick out of the bodywork. ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

Money would be far better spent on sorting the suspension than fitting wider tyres. Simply lowering the car isn't going to make it much quicker at all, wider tyres could even slow it down. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

You really need to concentrate on getting the car to use it's tyres rather than over tyreing it. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |
