I'am building a 1970 Kombi with the CSP wide 5 diskbrake setup:
Further I gave it 1 spline in the back and have a front axle that is adjustable to get it in line with the back.
I think the standard 185R14 tyres will give it to much of a ballon sight.
Do any of you have examples(pics) of stock 14" rims with a slightly lowered van and know the tyresize that has been put on?
I am thinking of 175/80-14 so the side wall will be slightly lower.
185R14 Overall Diameter: 651.51 mm Sidewall Height: 147.82 mm Radius: 325.62 mm Actual Speed: 100 km/h
175/80R14 Overall Diameter: 635.50 mm Sidewall Height: 139.95 mm Radius: 317.75 mm Speedometer1: 102. km/h
185/70R14 Overall Diameter: 614.42 mm Sidewall Height: 129.28 mm Radius: 307.08 mm Speedometer1: 106. km/h
195/65R15 Overall Diameter: 634.49 mm Sidewall Height: 126.74 mm Radius: 317.24 mm Speedometer1: 102. km/h (I like the stance on a van with these tyres, I know thisis 15")
