I think you'll be ok on 215 (and smaller) width tyres. I've gone as low as 25mm tyre-top to arch distance on '95, '98 and '00 classics and not had clearance problems. That's too low for roll-centre reasons, though, unless you've got altered suspension pickup points too. I'd recommend 30-35mm rear clearance and 5mm lower at the front. It's when you go to 225 and wider tyres that you'll get rubbing.

the wheels are wolfrace dont know the make, the offset is right for the 206 apperently as origanally they sold my girlfriend 205 wheels and the offset was huge, again not sure how low it is, its not mega low the wheel arch just sits above the top of the tyre.


sorry i cant be much more accurate mate.

but PLEASE dont laugh at me for the car as it was all her idea :wink: about putting chav stuff on it, like lexus lights etc, nothing to do with me honest :evil:

what time are people thinking about getting there? as im coming a fare way and dont want to be there to late.

Hi all,

Glad you got the message Dave - thanks for that, Ray! I'm still on hols until tomorrow and hoping my dodgy internet connection will let me send this.

Phil has a Gazebo in case it rains, but said it would be handy if anyone else has one (I don't). We can shelter in the house if need be.

He'll do my car from 10 til 12 noon, then the next one for 2hrs and the next for 2hrs, so you can decide between yourselves which time is most convenient. Come as early as you like tho, and I'll put the kettle on :thumb:

cheers
Andy

What suits you Rayman?
