New wheels 10J wheels finally fitted
« on: 28 October 2012, 12:40 »
Titles says it all really people.

About to buy some tyres for my new wheels...Just wanting to know if a 235s tread will stick out past the arch. The 225 stretched fine and the tread wasn't over hanging, just wanting to know for sure  :undecided:

If anyone can confirm I'd be very grateful  :smiley:

Cheers for the pic Wes, I'v used the 'tyre calculator' and looked at pictures, just after a definite answer as to weather a 235s tread will sit under the arch  :undecided:

All depends on the offset of the wheels.

10J ET55 with a 15mm adaptor, so ET40.



That is a pic of the last owner running them...Wondering if I could get away with a 235 that is all, who thinks what?  :undecided:

225 tyre is going to give you more room.

scarr F1's are sh!t for stretching as they have a very ridged tire wall and can pop off the wheel when cornering.
