RE: Wheel Specs

["Tim Shaw" <tashaw@domain.elided>]

Mike,

	Thanks for the info - I am going to stay with a 6" rim, but was thinking of
going up to a 15" wheel with a lower profile tyre. I have spoken to tony
hart, who advised against this saying it would completely muck up the
handling, and that I should stay with a 14" rim and 195/70 tyres. Now I
don't know what to do  - my suspension is all poly bushed and I have spax
shocks, so why would a lower profile tyre make a lot of difference? Any
advice before I buy wheels would be appreciated

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim

The Stag alloys are 5.50 rims, 14" diameter and 1.12 offset.

If you go for a wider wheel, please bear in mind you will need to maintain
the inner rim clearance or the wheel will badly foul the suspension, also a
much wider wheel easily clobbers the front wheel arches.

Hope this helps
