Finally had an opportunity to test wheels and tyres. Found a big difference left to right...... Right side would accept a 225/55/16, left would only accept a 205...... 205 rears and 195 fronts maybe not such a bad selection....? Any thoughts on rolling the left side to get more clearance for the 225????? I think I read on here somewhere that the stub axles must be installed and torqued before setting the car on its wheels and rolling. Can someone confirm that?? I have still to build the CV's and axles up..... Apologies for the rotated pictures again...... |

It would certainly be good to torque the stub axle before setting it on the ground, it may even pull your hubs in a little bit so you can get that 205 under there. Id be worried about just setting it on the hubs and ruining the bearing. |
