jamezzz Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have 205/40/17 tyres on my MC1 Aerodeck. It is lowered on MGZS 180 shocks with Jamex springs with 2 coils cut off front and rear. I folded back the archliner tabs on the front arches. The back arches are stock have never rubbed and the fronts only catch lightly now and again. All 4 tyres are badly worn on the insides due to the ride height and need replaced. I have been offered a set of different 17" alloys fitted with 215/40/17 tyres. Has anyone else run this size on a pretty low Aerodeck? Am I asking for trouble? I will try and find out the offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamezzz Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Because my car is so low there is quite alot of negative camber front and rear which pulls the tops of the wheels in, hence no rubbing, even with a family of 5 and a full load of holiday luggage. My current alloys are 7" wide with an ET38 offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
