Thanks :wink:

185/55/15's as satndard

195/50/15's or 195/45/15's will also work.

I run 195/45/15 on mine which is handy if your going to lower your RT alot, prevents the rears from rubbing (usually) :lol:

 

[Guest]

was thinking of lowing it either 35 or 55mm. the tyres that the turbines i might be getting will have the 185/55/15's on. How low should i go with these do u reckon?

 

[Guest]

will be fine -35 (should be ok -55 as the rt is higher than the valver)

i actullay got 195/45/15 front and 205/45/15 back on my turbines.. works just fine,, however the rear wheels are a little oversize.. won't change until i burn them or something :lol:

I had to down from 55 to 45 when mine was lowered -55 on the back due to it rubbing out. Still couldnt take passengers either :cry:

 

[Guest]

i think mine is standard and i can take 1 passengar.. 2 and i have to drive really easy..

I am just thinking of the adjustment to the speedo needed if running a different overall diameter with slicker tyres...is tehre much difference between say 55 and 50?

as in 195/50 and 185/55?

If it is there is a fraction of an inch. Does fuck all to your speedo.

Biggest modifying myth ever that is.

My physics isn't great, only having a c or something in gcse many years ago, however, I think if we fitted a 30" wheel to a clio and it said 30mph on the speedo, it would be travelling a lot faster than a car with a standard setup. Would that be right?

 

[Guest]

no, slower due to rolling radius.

but in real terms the highest you could realy go would be 17/18's on low profile tyres which will make a difference but not in the same way people make out.

Plus if you are spending that sort of money just get a GPS speedo, job done.
