However, were it not for the tyre & trim expense, I’d been inclined to think u were just doing this to up your post count to 5 stars

6,5 185 195 or 205 215
7,0 195 205 or 215 225
7,5 205 215 or 225 235
8,0 215 225 or 235 245
8,5 225 235 or 245 255

soooo.. looking at that thr 8.5 will do 225 and 255 . pity the offset is wrong eh
looking further into it it says correct offset of 47 front and for a 255 rear setup it should be 50 offset
and my things are 38 offset. so there is my problem - wrong offset
so, i have a few choices, to use the schitzers i need 225/40 on the front to get by the 38 offset
or sell the schnitzers with 4 new tyres and carry on with the mv2's

In The end I did none of those things.. I went and bought some more mv2's but staggered, had them powder coated, put the 255's on and put the 225/40/18 on the front, sold the original mv's to tug, and put up the snitzers on eBay, phew... unless I bin the sport suspension I will have to learn to avoid/drive around the million or so speed humps that the stupid council has installed in Burton

I started keeping a tally last year on the cost of all the ‘little tweaks’ the Zed got treated to - However, I decided to discontinue keeping such incriminating evidence...
