[QUOTE="vwwinston72, post: 469729, member: 17193"] I'm after opinions on my tyre size, currently the set up is 4 inch narrowed beam, silver kyb shocks and 185 60 14 tyres, i'm quite tempted to change the tyre size down to a 185 50 14 or a 185 55 14 as i get a bit of rubbing on full lock and on some bumps at the moment, Is it worth doing? Will i just whack the beam instead of the tyres hitting the arches if i go down a size? and will i need to carry two size spares as the rears are also 185 60 14's or can you get away with it and run one big tyre and one slightly smaller if you absolutely had too? Apologies if these are ridiculous questions but there ones that i gotta ask someone! Thanks in advance! :D [/QUOTE]
