Tyres / Stance Thread - Lets see what ya runnin!

[khrisng]

Hi Mattd1984, thanks...sent them an email for information couple of days and am waiting for their reply as well. So is it true that the torsion leaves have to be removed? And reliability concerns thus far?

 

[mattd1984]

Yes need to remove the leaves. Not really sure why as there on coilovers? Not problem with the kit. Been on now for 8 months probably

 

[sparkywig]

what should I do, I´m running 15X5 BRM´s with 195/60R15 on the rear, and the tire is rubbing against the fender

They fit OK just a small clearance, bit of a bugger to remove though. :lol:

Stock beam,dropped 4'' by T2D, with 185/60/14 up front.
2 splines down, notched spring plates with 185/70/14 on the rear

Hi Guys, I love this forum, My name is Kreso and I'm from Croatia, I own T2ab panel and want to buy midland wheels Cosimic or Fuch repro 5x112, Cosmic are 5,5 and fuch (black and polished) i would get 4,5 front and 5,5 rear. Does anyone have some pictures of those wheels (repro 5x112) on bay and if clearance is OK for rear tire 195/65 r15 et on wheels is 20.
Another question is do you have problems with tires that are not for cargo vehicles? like 175/55 r15 from smart because of weight on front.
Thanks.

WagenWest dropped spindles and adjustable beam, Red9 4" rear springplates, 155/60/15 front and 185/65/15 rear on split steels.

Sweet bus (love the color) but what is up with that rear bumper? That must drive the split
guys crazy (which is maybe why you run it). LOL

 

[srfndoc]

Dropped Spindles
Adjustable rear springplates
15" Splitty Steel Rims wearing 165/50/15 on front and 185/65/15 on the *** 8)

I love split 15" rims on bays, I just got my set back from the sandblasters, hope to have them
mounted soon. Your setup looks nice.

If you don't change them back, are you thinking about selling the 15"s? :msn4: :sign0006: :confused0068: :shadey:

 

[r73]

funny you should ask that! i wrot the same message last night but then deleted it - cos although i really want some split steels - i just cant afford it at the mo!! one day though, i'll join the brotherhood. out of interest what sort of money do a set fetch?

In the states you can get a set of 4 in good shape for about $200. Then $25 a piece to have
them sandblasted/primered, a few cans of Krylon Dover White and your looking at about $325
out the door. The toughest part is finding a set that isn't tweaked (out of round) and not pitted.
It's not easy to tell without putting them on a balancing machine first.

 

[Grazy]

Hi Cunning , Sold mine last year for £80 Ratty but straight , If thats any help :?

 

[cunning plan]

Cheers anyway Grazy, worth a shout..
£80 was about what I was expecting for straight ones, so yep, that helps to confirm 8)
