Tyres / Stance Thread - Lets see what ya runnin!

[ground hugger]

hello i'm from holland and i run a '68 early bay and like it very mutch.

Its lowerd by adjusters in the front and is not narrowed, and 2 splines in the back. Tires on front are 165-80-14 and i the back 185-80-14. Would like to put 165-65-14 on front to drop a little more

Hi Boarder69
I wouldn't put the 65s on it looks just right.I put a set of 175/65/14s on mine and the tyre to arch clearance is vast,and it makes you want to go lower .they make the van go lower by 30mm if I remember right,but also give you an extra 30mm tyre to arch clearance
and being fully down on the adjusters,theres nothing you can do about the
gaping void only Dropped spindles

Here's mine 185/65/15 on the rear 175/55/15 front,4.5 drop on a 3 inch narrowed beam,bump steer bushes.Rear down 2 outer splines with notched chassis and spring plates

Same set up with stock rims 175/65/14 front and 185/14 rear

Thought id better up date this,the ride with 2 spline on the rear and KYB beetle rear shocks was too harsh and I still got knocking from the A-arms on the chassis the slightest pot hole was an arse clenching nightmare :lol:
The notch's id put in the rear chassis where for the drive shaft only ,so to make the best use of this I now have a one spline drop with horse shoe plates and the same KYB beetle shocks. I also ground the little up stand off the bottom of the torsion housing so the spring plate would drop a tad lower,making it easier to remove the wheel......And what a difference this has made ,Ive got loads of travel in the rear it feels much smoother over potholes even with the same shocks and a lot quieter

Yes i will put them on, but these are new. Bus is only ready for 1 year So brand new tires
And the dropped spindles are on my want list, only problem will be the 10 mm offsett. So will look to the clearance in front. And the dropped spindles are not ready availble here. But maybe already at slammed pannel.com.
If there are changes, i will post another picture
