: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 :)

remoulds are generally a bit bigger than new tyres Matey.
-
What wheels are the newer tyres on?
:?

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

gay spokes

noisey lol yer they are damn noisey when i first put em on was driving home thought i had a moped driving in blind spot

Maybe the off set of the wheel is causing you a problem?
:?
-
i have 265,s on my disco but have a 1" lift via spacers on , they dont catch cos they are on standard steels so the off set,s not there that you have with 8 spokes
Noisy??? tell me about it i spent 4 hours driving to wales for BB3 with em , boy was i fed up with em when i got there
-
: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
