I was thinking of the wheels rather than just the tyres.

Will 215s be OK on 8" rims? Have a look on the Toyo site, there's a chart of what tyre width fits what range of rim widths. There may be similar on the Bridgestone site.

Gerry,

I'm hoping to get my RE070/STi2004s to fit as I know youve managed it with the same suspension;

Quick question: Is the spring platform of your rear KWs raised above the topmost point of the tyre, and have you ditched the spacers? Took most of the writing off the side of the OS rear backing down the drive! Might get arches rolled, not sure who does it though.

Bonus Question: How noisy is the PPG? Did you go Helical 1-4?

Lastly; did anyone enter the RAFMSA sprint for next weekend?

Cheers all.

Andy

Just tried to see where the platform is positioned and all I can see is spring at the top of the tyre. I did mention your problem to Zak and he said that you'd set your ride height a lot lower than mine. I had my arches rolled at Littleknocks near Denham iirc.

PPG helical is a little noisier but nothing like a real straight cut box.

Yes me :-D Do we get confirmation of entry? I mailed it first class on the day you posted the details. Membership to Lytham St Anns and entries to Northants. Have you sent yours off for Saturday?
