favour needed,need to borrow a wheel
 

anyone local to eastbourne who can lend me an 18 inch wheel with 225/40 rubber on it so I can see whether it will clear my rear arches, itll only be for five mins. Want to get some of these tyres for trackdays so need to know how much arch to roll.:???:

I've got what you're after but I'm to far away lol .

thanks mate....if only.

Well I get no rubbing what so ever on the arches but it's not as low as yours .

according to the p1woc it will do on a P1 and also touch the springs on standard suspension. I'm hoping with my thinner spring on my coilovers and a bit of camber will work....:sos:

When I get back up the road I will take a few close up pics of the wheel with the clearance for you so that you can get a ruff idea Tim .

thanks:doubleup:

I tried one of 'E' 40's and they fowled on the strut, infact they wouldn't even bolt up. But they may of been 235's. E will confirm.
That's with an 8" ET51.

Anything you try would need to be the same rim width and offset as you want to run, which IIRC the P1-WRC is 7.5" ET53

Hi there I have and they are off the car at the moment In Eastbourne.

Thanks hugh, is it off the blob? What width wheel would that be?

Yep et53.

Yep of my spec c. Not sure on the width of the wheel

The 18s I had rubbed quite bad..had to put alot of camber on the front...and the rears needed rolling really...also found the car didnt drive as nice despite setting it up.

I think classic drive so much better on 17s..and iv met afew owners who have dropped back to 17s

that might be true and I have considered getting some 17's and use for trackdays

it might still be worth just checking against my arches though:-)

The offers there if you want. They should be back on the car Saturday though.

I had 7.5 x 18 with 225/40/18 R888's on my classic RA without any rubbing

What susp or camber did you have james?

Tim you are more than welcome to try mine,

however they do have 235/40/18s on..:doubleup:

This is the wheel arch clearance I've got on the back running 225/40/18 Tim hope this helps

Thanks mate. I think it's the offset that is the problem. I think I'll bite the bullet and get some ad08's and then see what's what

Speak to BrianP1 on P1WOC, he's running 225/40 and they buzz the inner arch and you can hear it on his ring lap.

But then so do mine (less so on the P1 springs then the Teins).
It's more likely to be the 225 bit that causes the problem.
Run your hand up inside the rear arch, you'll feel the step/slope in it's profile that the wider tyre makes contact with.
