Tyre sizes

[Joval]

Anyone reckon I'll squeeze a pair of 205/70s on the rear of my '71 bay?

Will have Flat4 5.5 Fuchs on 20mm adapters.

Cheers.

Hello mate, I have 205 X 70 X 15s on mine, fit like a dream but takes a bit of wiggling to get them in as there is not enough room to get past the arch :roll: Worth it the as they look sick!

You don't know what offset the wheels are by any chance? I can calculate form there, cheers.

Good question! dont know im afraid :roll:

What size front tyres are peeps using on lowered bays?
I had 165/65s on my old oval on 6" Fuchs but will they go on 4.5s?

 

[easy]

Mine is as lowered as I can get it currently (about an inch off the top of the wheel to the arch. Never hit or had any dodgy happenings and that is on big tyres 205 X 70 X 15.

I am sorting out a new beam as we speak to narrow the front so that I can go lower

Will change the tyres at some point so I can hit the deck, but to honest i love the ride and look of slightly bigger tyres

You've 205/70s all 'round? :shock: That's hardcore :lol:

This will be my first bus and I'm still thinking in terms of Cal-look beetle tyre options. :wink:

Not only hardcore but sick! looks ace in my opinion, every one else does a slammed bus on smart car tyres with brms etc done its been done a million times. Go for something different thats what makes your van that bit more special. I think it works quite well, dont you? :wink: 8)
