A question for the wheel guru's
Stig, beautiful motor.
If you are running on a 10 inch wheel with et41 without a problem and then get rubbing by adding 3mm spacers and therefore effectively running on an et38, how does someone run on a 10 inch wheel with et20, which would cause the wheel to protrude a further 18mm, without a problem.
What am I missing here

Maybe it depends on tyre make, as different tyres have different shape sidewalls, also Stig's car looks pretty low, and people have lowered their cars by different amounts.

A question for the wheel guru's
I guess its a combination of stretched tires and lots of negative camber. Also as mentioned above, different tire brands/models are very different in shape and size. Michelin PSS like the ones I use have are wide and have a very thick and straight side wall.
I had extreme rubbing in the front with 235/35-19 on 8,5" ET34. Had to go down to 225/35. No its all good.
My coupe is lowered on H&R springs with OEM M-Tech shocks.

Let's face it, this forum has zero knowledge when it comes to mods. Only wheels that fits it's csl's. People on here were telling for years that m3 seats doesn't fit when intact they plug and play. Oh and you have to have stubby lolDav the wheel nut wrote:Stig, beautiful motor.

Marius I don't know you mate, but you come across a right f***ing w****r saying things like that. Maybe best to keep those sort of sweeping generalisations to yourself in future as its not the first time I've noticed you doing it, and I'm sure nobody here appreciates it.Marius wrote:Let's face it, this forum has zero knowledge when it comes to mods.

Try adding something that's actually helpful instead of your babbling negativity, or just keep your silly comments to yourself in future.

You may question the amount or validity of knowledge on here Marius, but to say Zero, just shows your ignorance !Marius wrote: Let's face it, this forum has zero knowledge when it comes to mods...l
There is a "How To" section on here that offers lots of knowledge that members have found useful, and no doubt you have even offered your own wisdom at times, so to say there is Zero knowledge on here is blatantly ridiculous.
Think before you type (and speak) fella and put your ego back in its box
