foster 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Hello, I've tried the search but still have doubts. I'm looking at getting a set of 9x16 et15 borbet t's. Im fitting them to a G60. Im not sure how much arch work im gonna need to do with a drop on coilovers as well. My car has a complete new paint job so im not really interested in streching the arches out as it could mean respraying, will rolling the arches be enough though? I would happily get 7.5x16 on the front and 9x16 on the back but would it be much more work to fit 9's all round. Any advice welcome. Thanks in advance.

Guest Posted August 24, 2008 I have 9x16 Borbet A`s all round on mine with a pretty decent drop at least 50mm on the front which is not rolled, and i have only had the rear inner lip part rolled out the way on the back which is also down at least 50mm, and I have no arch clearance problems at all, even on bumps or fast turn in corners (ask peanut he saw me :norty: on a roundabout ) the car is also an early version so has slightly narrower arches compared to later cars, I have KW V1 coilovers fitted obviously it depends a lot on what suspension kit you use as to how far you can go down before travel/give in the shock/spring becomes a factor that allows the wheel to travel and hit the arch :wink:, thats the beauty of coilovers as you can shift them to suit dunno how low you want to go? but for practicality and avoid hitting speed bumps with my sump/90mm spoiler!! this is as far as im going, will go lower but tyres touch on corners/bumps, and i hate that noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my drive is far from "flat" so on the road the car looks far lower!

foster 0 Posted August 24, 2008 This is good news!!! I didn't want to get 7.5's and regret it. What tyres do you suggest and does anybody have any pictures from the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 25, 2008 I have gone for 215 40 :D these are continental sport contact 2`s, differetn brands give different stretch on the side walls, some go for the 205 40, a lot more stretched but still looks good, due to the amount of dish and where the valve sits they are easy to have mounted on the rims too, you get a bit of tramlining and a bit of torque steer with 215 but they give a phenominal amount of grip due to the contact surface with the road :grin: 215 from the rear :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
