colway m/t`s and wing modifications
« on: August 14, 2006, 19:27:21 »
:shock:

ok now im lost finally swopped my alloys and road tyres 235/70 r 16`s for some colway 235/70 r16s thinking they will be the same no worries about clearance.........

Wrong  :oops:   cant reverse park at my dads house now cos the camber tears the front valance with some lock on and just today i find the ring quarter just under the door has been torn out and is sticking sharply out upwards...  :evil:

so is it

a. the tyres even though there 235/70 r 16 are too big with the agressive tread

b. suspension is tired and needs me to winge at my dearest linda about letting me lift the old gal :)

Hi there, I put some part worn Colway MT's 235x70x16 with no bad effects except they were bl@@dy noisey. However I will be putting a small lift on my 200tdi so I have the option of larger tyres.
Cheers

Maybe the off set of the wheel is causing you a problem?

:oops:  lol ok i gotta ask why should the offset affect my car ?

these wheels came of my dads 300 tdi he didnt have any problems like this  :?

the only differance is he has a 3 door and his front bumper doesnt have the fogs in the valance
