6j will be much better-use that calculator link.

Would think that 185/60/14 will not be too far away
You'll be 155x13 now??????

[germ]

185/60/14 sounds right, i had 185/55/14's they look alot cooler tho but wouldent pass a french mot lol (fine in england tho)






imagine with your cool pimped up down drop of 2" and thats 185/55/14's for ya.



This is how 185/60/14's look on my french chav wagon.

And finally 185/55/15's

Cheers Germ.
Thats a great help too!
Cool pics man.
Rides look very well indeed!

[sven360]

According to that tyre calculator 155x13=22.76"
185/60x14=22.74"

They're the boys then I would think.

Cheers dude, yours looks ace even more so with the DROP! imaculate.

The 300 is a little poorly atm, no go , and all green from being out in the weather all this time BUT soon to be fixed and looked after like before in the garage and get all the things i said i was gonna do done lol been to damn cold of late tho.

[volvosneverdie]

God luck with it germ. Wish i had a garage as well! I fear all the hard work done by previous owners to keep it immaculate may be undone with a couple of harsh winters outside my house.


Cheers sven, youre a legend.
another drink i owe you.
btw man, you being a rally laddie and whatnot, any ideas on wide arches for 300s?
OapEm is after some.

page 5 has a rallycrosser with some big ol' arches.someone on here might know what they are or whose car it is.

Not allowed to alter factory silhouette of car for what we do so don't run arches.Well should say used to do when we had some money

My mate used Golf arches on a MK1 Escort rally car 20 yr ago so they seem a popular choice.

Anyhoos VnD if you're looking for some big boots -I just won item 220342702398 tonight on the blag-check 'em out

[volvosneverdie]

ha ha!
Thought youd got some bargain minilites from under me nose there for a second man.

Orange isnt really me colour dude, and i need two sizes up, but im sure they come in handy for not cutting your appendages off.
like claw-hand mcwhats hisname from Axe Men.
He shouldve had giant protective husky mittens on eh?

Then he's still be able to scratch his arse without drawing blood.

[sven360]

ha ha!

Better than claret tho

Size 13 Remind me not take a boot up the jacksy from thow then.

[germ]

hahaha i can beat that...just 14! and the lady's love it

[volvosneverdie]

you do it to them with your feet? I saw that on a dvd.
I didnt like it.
And theyd have to be well shod clowns pockets to get a size 14 in there man.

[germ]

Well, as much as feet are good for walking i doubt they do "it" so well, but they love to look at them, now i like an older woman but you wont find me near any crecky's man.

My 15x7's have 195's on, and are *just* slightly this shape /\ on the rim, not much at all though.

Compared to the 175s the steering is a fair amount heavier parking, so I'd be dubious of going too much wider on the front.

Strut tops will be your heavy steering problem at a guess

No excuse Chris, you bought new ones off me
