quote: I wasn't even given 195/55 as an option from the installer (sent me a load of wheel/tyre packages to look over) so yeah... I think I'll go for 205/45 as I know they will fit :) | |

Watch out changing the offset it can alter massively how the car feels to drive, get it wrong and your return to centre on the steering will disappear, and scrub radius will be to cock, makes it feel like its not connected to the road | |

Yeah you always have the option to move the wheel outwards with either a lower offset rim or spacers - hence affecting the arch more. | |

I'm getting it professionally set up for me but thanks for the information! It's good to know what's actually going on :) I know the guy above had to hack his arches about a bit... fine with me to be honest. | |

Speedo you can verify with a sat nav, probably will just get it more accurate if the radius is larger. They under-read as standard. | |

Need to know what sort of car it is, what size of tyres is fitted to it as standard to work anything out | |

Those tyres will look completely different, and will be completely different sizes, massively affecting the speedo. What size tyres are fitted at present? | |

basically if too big the inner tyre/wheel could rub on the coilover, I had this problem back in the day on my corsa B on spax coilovers. | |

I'm afraid I don't really understand half of what you're saying :lol: | |

Yeah so I'm looking to go pretty low on AP coilovers and I'm choosing a wheel and tyre package to go with it. My options are 195/45, 205/55 or 215/55. This is on 16x8 wheels btw. |
