iLott Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Just wondering, I shall be purchasing some new wheels soon at 18x9.75 et20. Now will I get away with not rolling the arches or will I have to? I have/ am waiting for H&R springs at a 30 mm drop too. Any help appreciated Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Won't need the archs rolling with that set up I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Dan, I think you'll be fine, we've had a similar setup with a 10.5" wide wheel lowered on 30mm with no issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLott Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Awesome! May keep my spacers then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLott Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh yeah, I'll be going 275/35 all round so very slightly stretched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Might get TC issues without a staggered set up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what's the technical issue behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Traction control measures the speed of front - rear rotation, the rear should be turning a few percent slower and once they begin rotation at X ratio the traction control will kick in. The correct sizes for 18's are 225/45 and 245/45, but i believe 235/40 and 255/40 work too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLott Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Right okay! So potentially I could have problems, even though I did traction control on the 350 is too safe at times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Oh yeah, I'll be going 275/35 all round so very slightly stretched 275 at the front is possibly too much. I'm aware of the concept of stretching the tyres on the rims, but I always thought that you fitted a narrower tyre in order to squeeze it under the arches, surely a 275 tyre on a 9.75 inch rim is going to be bulging outwards, ie stretched in the wrong direction?

Pete Hey man, I have a picture with the exact set up on a 350: That's 18x9.75 all round with 275/35 tyres on! Very very slightly stretched Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
