Guest mk47 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 The racing harts ive bought are 9.5j all round. Is that ok? as my current ones are 8.5 at the front iirc and 9.5 rear. just wondering with same width all around it wont cause any problems will it? Not that ill back out because i love those wheels and theyre mineeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 9.5 is pretty wide, i dont think they will fit on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 hmm maybe he got confused then. just re checked the pm and he said they are 9.5 all around. let me see if i can find the tyre sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 225/40 - front 265/35 - rear i guess that means the fronts will be less wide then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 225/40 - front 265/35 - rear i guess that means the fronts will be less wide then? Though I'm sure you know this, those are tyre widths, the wheels could be anything (though 225 will struggle to go on a 9.5 inch wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 225 is smaller than stock for the front and 265 is wider than stock rear. you should be able to get stock sizes 235f and 255r on them rims although not sure if having them the same size all round is ideal.

Kranz Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 225 will fit over 9.5 as my Westfield has 10" wide all round with 225 on!! More critical than the actual width of the wheel is the offset combined with the width. Wider than a certain point you may want to consider decreasing the offset to clear the arches... limited by brake calipers and suspension of course.

Matt _Aero top_ Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Don't go too wide with the tyre on the front or ya may find it tram lining abit too much , I have 245 on the front and i can feel the steering pulling quite bad sometimes .
