(T) FK SUSPENSION + WHEELS

ok i have found some FK springs an shocks that lower the car 70mm at front and 50mm at rear... the question is.

would i b able to squeeze 7x14 rims under the arches, even if it did mean gettin the cut/rolled?

yes mate it will fit coz i getting 60mm springs for my 15" but if it is not low enough then i will be getting the 75 mm springs

Get 195/40/14's from Continental on the wheels. They are sweet tyres and the profile is sooo low that it does not change the rolling diameter from the standard 13" setup! Also look the b*ll*x too! So I would presume that they would then fit without any problems?

u gonna need major arch work with a drop like that on 15's

i hope u gonna uprate the shocks aswell i wouldnt like -60mm springs on standards and -75mm would be even worse[xx(]

yeah having major arch work done but it will look aq beast when done :)

mattyrboerts

but when u think about it, 14's with 195/40 tyres will have about 2.5cm less diameter than your 15's. so i could get away with a 2cm lower drop, plus i already got the arch lining out of the fronts an it looks like i could fit a bus in the arches.

i dont really mind havin some arch work done to get them to fit, i think it will look the dogs when it all comes together!

bad boy racer: where u gettin those tyres from? i can only find 195/45/14!!!

www.mytyres.co.uk do the 195/40/14

A 50mm drop on 13's poses ground clearance problems.....

wat about 70 on 14's? even with 195/45 tyres?

it would be a smaller rolling radius than the 13's i think, maybe a problem

it all depends if u wanna slow down for slugs

at the moment i have 175/50's on (due to the 5.5x13 abarth wheels)

which give the side wall a height of 87.5mm

doesnt that mean 195/45 will give a side wall height of 87.75mm?

unless my maths is pure pants doesnt that mean stickin 195/45/14 wheels/tyres mean the car would b about 2.5cm higher before the springs go on?

my bad i assumed u had normal tyres on the 13's 165/55, i didnt realise u had 175/50, u are right they would be slightly bigger, u can keep the space saver aswell:)

tis all good man, i prob should of said somethin haha, an that is a very good point, even tho it will b covered with a dirty great big sub an amp!

so the overall feedback is that is can b done but might need a bit of work / might have problems with speed bumps when done?

just get a snow plough re-inforced bumper:D
