14" x 5.5" Rostyle wheels & Tyres Q

[creationblue]

Tried these for size today before refubing to see what they will look like, now they have 185/55s on the front and 185/60s on the rear. My bus is lowered around 2.5" on the front with sprindles and the rear is factory as far as i know but looks a little lower than many standard buses i have seen. Currently im running 185/75s on standard steel 14s.

Now, the 55 profile make the front look like its on stilts, and the rear is very close to the lip! Im thinking of putting 185/75s as per my white walls as this looks good with the mild lowering job, but im worried the rears will rub :|

Im not sure why the rears should be so close as i assumed the offsets of the Rozzers are the same as the OG wheels (but cant see any markings on the Rostyles to confirm), so that leaves the width being the problem......

Can anyone give me some ideas please.

I wouldnt reduce your tyre profiles at all, especially on the back where gearing will be affected. Stay with what you have.
As long as there is 'some' clearance it will be ok. On my last set of rims/tyres it was incredibly close, but once it was on and rolling, it was all fine.

Clem your saying stick with the 185/75 profile as per my whitewalls? That what I want. but not sure they will fit (untill I try it) as the 185/60s are sooo close already......

Incidently I have just taken them (next door) to a bike restorer who is gonna shotblast and powdercoat metalic silver for £40 a rim 8) back log of 3 weeks tho......

they do look close on the back. but you arent going any wider, just taller, so you should be ok.

I would go for it.

Anyone know what the offsets are? couldnt find anything on the net.
