hi all...
as promised I'll have to ask a silly question.. have any of you guys seen a 340 or 360 with 16" wheels fitted ?
If anyone got any pictures it would be nice ! (:
yea yea know all of that 13-14-15 action.. but is there any, when it comes 16" (other than rubbing
)
i know it would be like constant rubbing, unless you redo the fenders or goes MAAADly high... but still has it ever been done ? and if.. can i see it ?
that's all cheers

Browse through the pic's in my thread. Run 16x7's think with 35 offset and 5mm spacers the rubber on them is all shot so when i get new stuff I'll be going stretched fronts and have no travel in rear end so they'll be normal.

They have clearance issues with current rubber. Hoping when it gets new stuff it'll be sweet

I'm sure Adam (340GLT) had 16" alloys on his 340R project
I don't get any rubbing using 15x8 wheels so using 45 profile tyres on say 16x7 would probably be ok if you don't go too low

My project seems to sit lower than my other 360's do already so can't go low in front much and I'm only going one inch blocks in back so should be fine, but if you want to go LOW I'd stay away from 16
