[Bobreoc]

just wondering if anyone is running 17's on there bay.
ive worked out the rolling radius should match what i have im just concerned about the off-set on the rear clearing the arch?

im just concerned with the rears being at least 7j in width and whether it would foul the arch on the rear?

That's interesting can I ask you some
Questions please
Is the bus stock height?
What size type tyres are they and are
They tough enough to take the weight?
What's the ride like?

Ps your bus looks well cool

Thanks for the compliment - not many people seem to like her but we do! 8)

I'll try and help if I can but I'm no techie!

My bus is lowered (but I'm not sure by how much - I'll find out and get back to you) and the tyres are 205/40ZR17 34W s all round and they're fine with the load.

To be honest they can be a bit harsh but not too bad, it's only really noticeable if you hit a big bump or pothole - a Modern Mini Cooper with 18s is similar if that helps at all!

If you need anything else just let me know - I'll try my best to help!

Did you get the interior boxed off :lol:

Seem to remember you having boxed
In the camper as a template!

[Irishpete]

You remember correctly - fortunately the boxes are now gone but it was definitely a worthwhile exercise!

Yep I am running 17 porsche boxster cup 3 wheels on mine. Had to change to adapters and lower profile tyres on the back but no probs with it at all.

Steering is slightly heavy in very slow speed but no probs really.
