Just got some original wheels from a very helpful chap on the Late Bay forum, they are 14" with decent Yokohama van tyres on.
Anyway, the diameter is 2.5" more than my current setup, so that's 1.25" less clearance. To check this would be ok, I made 2 bits of polystyrene 1.25" thick and glued them to the inside of each wheel arch (with current wheels on). Went for a drive, speed bumps an all, and the tyres brushed the polystyrene, it actually removed one of the pieces, but the "no nails" hadn't set.
I've got a narrowed front beam with adjusters so was thinking I need to raise the front by 1". How easy is this? is it just a case of jacking up then loosening the adjusters and letting the wheels drop to the ground by the required amount?
Or maybe a better solution would be to firm it up somehow to stop the suspension traveling so far?
Happy New Year
