mrt Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Advice please. I,m fitting 245/35/19 on 9.5 Js sfront and 275/35/19 on 10.5 J,s this week and plan to lower 17mill front and 14 mill rear . As I have a brand new set of Micheln ssp,s on my standard Rays..... can I run them once the car has been lowered as I would like to swap them over for winter. As always, your advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 without the spacer they will fit no problem at all.if your having the rear arches rolled then cant see a problem there either m8 with the spacers on with the rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) The overall rolling radius is not getting altered hugely, hence 45 profile on your 18"s and 35 profile on your 19"s Edited September 22, 2014 by BulletMagnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 The stretched tyres I inherited were so bad in respect of ride they the new ones have totally transformed the car.got a huge smile now.Onwards and upwards. Falcon did a good job on the underneath with the waxoil.would highly recommend them for us northerners. Best regards Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
