Why would the suspension need to settle if all you've done is change the wheels?
Because if you've done it properly then the wheel will have been off the ground, so the suspension will have been all the way out with the wheel pulling down on it and no upwards load so once it goes back down it won't be normal straight away.


What the fuck are you talking about?

If I jack my car up and have it jacked up for 4 or 5 hours when I put it down it settles almost straight away. So unless the pics were taken less than 5 secs after the wheels were fitted it's fully settled.

The only time it's taken any longer is when I wound the ride height down a bit at the back.

If you take wheels off and put them back on it shouldn't need to settle in the way it needs to when you fit springs, etc.

Wheels look nice bar the red caps.


Exactly, the old Audi UR quattro rally cars used to run Kleber tyres!

Good good

Maybe you should wait a bit longer and see if it settles any more after re-fitting the wheels
