Wheel, BRM, black, 5/205 Diamond hilites 5.5x15 4"BS
[AC601002]

Ran the recommended tyre sizes with them.... and the 5.5 foul the arched big time on the rear! :? its down one spline.
175/60 up front and 185/65 on the rear wheels
What have people done to get them to fit? Tyre size etc

Got same problem, would have cost a fortune in tryes if it wasn's for a friend owning a tyre company, the widest you can get uner is 175 and thier close, good luck.

Anyone want to buy two new 185's

 

[Commercial Phil]

Thank god some one else had the same thing!! Thought i was going mad for a second there :shock:

Have you got your's to fit with 175's? How close is close?

Where abouts in Wales are you? Could come and crope under your arches

In Cardiff, not far from you, if you want to have a look at how close they are pm you tel no. I can't get my little finger (they are fat though :lol: ) between the tyre and arch.
