Kevin...I might sound like a stick in the mud and this maight be taken as a slight towards you (it isn't - nothing personal) but you've been registered on this forum since November 2016, 18months, without a peep from you to present yourself or your car and now you'd like some help and advice.
It's not my intention not to welcome you warmly - I'd love to if you'd merely introduce yourself politely first.
Fitting tyres on wider wheels all depends upon the 'look' you wish and the ride height of the car (lower the car and wider tyres might rub). I think you'll find 205s will work nicely but the choice also depends upon what is available in the dimentions required (diameter, profile and width).
You might also do a search on the forum as I'm quite sure the quetion has been posed before, the answers to which will serve as a base guide for your choice.
SeanAnticipation is the key as far as parts go.
I do have manifolds in stock but only the Full Race version. I have exhaust lines in stock but not with the JDM twin vertical exit.
So yes, end of the year for the full range in stock and a decent discount given for any pre-orders confirmed with a 50% deposit.
Hi
I've purchased some Rota RB 16x7 wheels and just wondered what tyres best to fit and fill the arches. I have just refitted standard arches to the car. Thanks
Thanks very much for that, that’s really helpful. I’m assuming from your post that you’re happy with the looks and function of them.I have 16x7 rbs on mine Kevin and have 205/55 /16.
There’s a fair bit on forums that I read and went for the above as few seemed to have had problems rubbing etc.
Great thanks for that, Wow the car looks fantastic. My wheels are very similar but with a Gun Black Chrome inner, I also have slightly lowered coils to fit.
The colours close as well, I'm going slightly off stock and going with the Katsura Orange I think (same as the current GTR). Either way I'll be happy if it looks anything like that good!
Thanks again to all, really helpful
Kevin
Young Mr Woodrow!!!!!! Have you been driving on lug-centric wheels with just 3 on!?!?!?! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
Or did the power just overwhelm it!? [emoji12]
Obviously the power totally overwhelmed it, the stock ish L series means it eats tyres as a snack!
Thank you for pointing it out, fortunately it was a known issue which another member also kindly pointed out to me. It's having new lugs fitted, the thread was damaged hence the missing wheel nut. Fortunately it was removed before it went flying off! My enthusiastic driving style has certainly been weeding out all of the weak points of the car
Very beady eyes senior!
Ha. woops! Was the lug thread damaged or the actual hub?
Well you do frequent a club full of smart alecs
BTW was speaking with Ian at Passion Engineering today for two jobs on mine and he was telling me he was flat out getting yours ready for Le Mans!!! He's a good man!! [emoji106]
