have'nt bought any new wheels yet just want to see what the biggest i can put on with out fouling or loosin any steering
Cheers:worship:
depends on the offset of the wheel fitted, i have some 15" alloy wheels with a 30mm offset and they are 195/45 tyres and they hit the rear arches over bumps, my other cinq has 14" wheels also with 195/45 tyres and iy takes a very big bump to make them hit.
so i ould say no more then 195 without modifications
I'd sugest probably 18" rims with a min of 245 section tyres, you may need a bit of arch work but if you try hard enough and have enough cash they will fit
Alternativly try the search function and find the answers you don't want to see

Sweet was hopin on 195's cheers mate :worship:
to be honest, you got a 899 cinq, bigger wheels will do u more harm that good, due to the lack fo power!
if he was to go to 14" wheels with low profile tyres there wount be all that much difference from the 13" wheels with the deep profile from standard
when my sporting was standard i went from 13's to 15's and to honest i couldnt tell the difference
hmm .. if the 13" steelies he got and the 14" rims is similar weight, then yes it won't make a difference. Is not the size but the weight that matter for the 899!
But where can u those wheels?

an extra few pounds of weight is'nt gonna do anything the 899 engine does have some power and more than u think from the sounds it no offence

13" minilites then
Sounds like a gd idea i'll have a look see if i can find sum1 with them on a cinq cheers :worship:
i know , how much power an 899 have, i'll had 2 of them ...
And with 14" wheels is not just an few extra pounds we r talking about, and i don't think the 899 have as much power as u think they have.
Yes stick with 13" , that will be good.
Thanks

beg to differ mate if your 899's where short on power there was summit rong lol my cinq 899 can keep up with most round town puttin 14's with lower profile wouldn't really alter the geometry at all goin to 18's or summit would make a diff but not 14's i'v got mechanics that back that quote up lol

like my 1242
no power issues here haha
your mechanic's talking crap, anything that isnt standard from the factory will alter things, maybe not enough to seriously notice unless you go silly but the difference is there and felt all over, be it handling, acceleration speedo readout, mpg etc etc
Its a well discussed subject this with plenty of info there are plenty of tyre gurus on here who would rip your 'back up mechanics' to pieces

Allright last post was obvously way too subtle TRY SEARCHING
Turbo on a 899 forget it, spend your money down the local knocking shop you will get more go for your blow for your buck down there than you will feel much more satisfied as a result.
TBO unless you want to do something like rallycinq has done with his car just enjoy the ecomony and parkability (if there is such a word) of an 899 and save up for the insurance on something faster and better, don't waste your money
