People throw tire and wheel sizes around but they usually dont show offset.
Does anyone know where I can find a dependable chart. |

John if the weather holds I can bring the car down and swap some tires around if you want to see how Mahles with 195/65's fit.
You could also borrow my steelies if you just need to get it on the road without paint burning tire rub. The tires on them are a little old, but I put 2k on them without any issues. |

Thanks Scott, It is on the road. Got the plates this morning. Drove it up to Exeter and around a bit. The car is a lot stiffer than I expected. I want you to drive it and tell me what you think.. The 195's that are on there were rubbing on one side, but since I made an adjustment to the camber I think that has reduced to just banging when the suspension hits bumps. But that is not frequent becuase everything is so stiff. I guess I expected the Bilsteins to be a little softer? But at this point stiff is good until I get the suspension sorted. I think I am going to go to 185's, and maybe different wheels. Right rear bearing is squealing and that pisses me off becuase I replaced it.. It was consistant at first, but now only in right hand turns. I am praying it will go away, but I know that it will have to get replaced again. Checked the brake discs and hub and there is no heat, which makes be think it is the bearing. Unless it is tire rub, but I have never equated that with a squeal. Picked up Al Romano and he helped me bleed the brakes once again, and now they feel good. The throttle is still not going back to an idle. Al gave me some pointers on adjusting the drop links and hex bar side play. The side play was affecting idle as well but now I might have it too tight. Contact me if you think you are coming to the area. I need good sugestions and advice. John |
