Right I guess this might have been asked a few times but I can't find it doin a search so I've got some 15inch wheels but what I want to know is what tyre size is nearest to stock rolling radius ?

Cheers rob

185/80R14 tyres on refurbished stock 5 x 112 rims with trim rings and babymoon caps.

 

[Geeze]

Before (all stock)

After......

and fully laden

Facts and figures bit:
Front, stock beam T2D dropped (flipped) spindles, 185/60R14 tyres on stock rims, coilover shocks.
Rear, T2D adjustable spring plates, brand new HD torsion bars, 185/75R14 tyres on stock rims.

Doesn't rub, doesn't scrape, isn't low enough.... :lol:

This is the new stance since the horshoe plates at the rear.

Front Red9 coiliver kit down approx 4" plus 165/55 R14 so another inch or so.
Rear is meant to be stock height on the spline then used the horsehoe plates running 185/75 R14. It seems lower than it should be?

This is the old setup before the horseshoe plates were fitted down 1 outer spline

 

[jacks906]

That looks about right too me an looks very nice indeed I've got a pic or me mates at stock height with horse shoe plates an his is about the same on the arch lip to wheel bit

Nice work dooders, keep em coming we have a fantastic array of different choices for people looking at lowering their bus 8)

 

[jammac]

ok heres my 71 with t.haus 3.5" dropped spindles, GSF coilovers, 185/65/14 stock wheels upfront. 2 splines down at the back with 185/70/14 tyres

and he she is before the dropped spindles with my adjustable beam on max low, same tyres, same wheels but stock shocks. it was alot lower like this but was unpleasant to drive

 

[southcoastcruiser]

BBS lemans 7,5 x 17 continental sportcontact3 205/50/17 front and rear

vintage autohaus adjustable rear plate
front kit welded

 

[rjb63]

Long time coming but if you ever EVER doubted the difference a short sharp strike from the lowering stick makes...behold! Same bus, Same day.

then

3.5 drop spindles
adjustable springplates
new shocks
SSP slot mags
185/65/15 rear
175/55/15 front
One day at T2D

Difference in handling is unreal. No more capsize drill at roundabouts...
