With the low profile tyres (205/45/16's) I had to put this block under the wheel to get the jack out

REALLY NEED TO LOWER IT NOW

On a side note car turned 115000 today

according to http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

my speedo will be out now when it shows 70mph I will be doing 65.21

because standard 225-45/17 circumference was 1992.71mm
new 205-45/16 circumference is 1856.37
-136.34mm -6.84%

whats the biggest profile you can get / fit for 16s then

im not bothered about speedo , aslong as im doing under what speedo says :)

reasons being mines lowered and wana raise it up abit to avoid all the ice/slush theat gathers inbetween the tracks on roads , i resently scrapped a load , and need to inspect it when possible to see if ive damaged anything



mark keep your eyes peeled for me then


i did txt u yesterday asking for that tyre place u goto , mine are now racing slicks , spend have the journey spinning , and TCS is fighting a loosing battle

wudnt bother me as such , could work out via satnav then stick to the adjustments etc

aslong as the floor is up away from the ice and **** in the middle of the roads ,

when its snow its not bad , when that bits turned to solid ice , its same affect as concrete , could damage lots of vital buts underneath , £££££
