suspension and wheelsize?

Postby JayC on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:19 pm

Hi guys, im currently waiting on buying some 16inch TSW Evo R's but can anyone shed any light on how much they rub, based on having a 40 profile tyre and a 60mm drop.

would this be ok? i dont want to cut the arches, and if possible i want to keep the plastic liners, if i have to ditch them, ill at least try and remove sections of them, any experience with 16s on a 60 drop? hows the handling? maybe a 35mm would be more sensible?

any help would be cool
thanks
jay

from what i've heard, 16's on a 60mm drop will lead to major archwork!! the arch liner will definately have to go and the arches would have to be rolled out, maybe even cut.
