[creationblue]

THATS OK THEN :lol:

Just got a nice set of painted wheels with new Runway 185/80/r14 tyres for a song!

The tyres will be up 4 grabs as my white-walls are going on!

I thought Splitty's had 15 inch wheels or is that some Beetles?

I thought 15 inch stock wheels could look quite cool?

14" or 15" (Bugs and Three's has these) the stud pattern would be the same though, and 15" steels are a cool stock item .. allowing a bigger wheel/lo pro tyre combo for better handling whilst keeping it stock looking.

I had to think for a minute then! I dont want my new white walls to be useless lol

[ddffrost]

cool thought it were bugs but weren't sure!

If you go lower profile tyres does that mean bumpier?

Whats the best way to get a good smoth ride after lowering? I've got short shocks but the ride can still be brutal on bumy roads!

Dropped spindles?

Use dropped spindles :lol:

 

[ddffrost]

Are they expensive?

How does it help?

£399ish, it lowers the bus 2.5" without touching the beam, shocks, running gear etc., you get 2.5" lower without touching the shocks and keep the ride quality.

 

[creationblue]

THEY ARE THE EXPENSIVE OPTION. AROUND £400, YOU KEEP THE STOCK SUSSPENSION FEEL, THO YOU ONLY LOOSE 2.5IN ON RIDE HEIGHT WHICH ISNT ENOUGH FOR THE SLAMMED CREW :shock:

I GOY MINE VIA WAGENWEST IN THE US

[ddffrost]

i like my ride height at the moment but could use the extra ride comfort

if i fitted spindles could i keep this hieght or would it go down further?

 

[creationblue]

Cool lookin van fella 8)

You will have to raise you adjuster after fitting the spindles or you will be riding on your beam 8)

[ddffrost]

cheers dude

i think it sounds expensive but a good option me vans not mega low but sometimes the ride gets a bit to much.

not as bad as me mate van though his is turned and cut, the first time we went out in it he hit a speed bump and we both hit the roof of the van!

 

[Guest]

by the looks of it you would have to raise it or ^^WHS and you would probably have to tub the arches too. it looks tight as it is...

 

[ddffrost]

I had it lowered by Spike at house of dubs he lowered it as far as he could whilst still being able to keep stock wheels and decent tyre size

 

[faux]

Don't BJ dropped spindles widen the track my 10mm each side?

If so, you might get a little tyre rub.

They sure do, well worth considering :!:

Pic of mine 15 in steel splitty rims
dropped 2.5 inch spindles can't remember tyre size and it's dark (175/65/15 on front 185/65/15 rear me thinks)
10mm track increase

No rubbing issues here
