Snakeii I have the same problem. It depends on what car i have as my desktop*happy*
Carls Twinnie really says it all for 10s even though they're stupidly wide.
And the TT2 does it for the 13s.
Decisions decisions. . . . .


Sorry O/T again.

Hi,
A008s are good, annoyed you can't get them for 13s anymore :(
Cheers,

for 13's you need 195/45/13 none of this stretched 175 onto 7" wide wheel shite. *tongue*

but tis al subjective. :)


why would you need 195's? 175's fit fine on 7" rims, but if you were going with 175's it might be worth look at 6" ones.

Whats the point of a 7" rim if the tyre foot print is 6" wide?

175 tyres are already streached on a 6" rim

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

lol so im ok to go with the 10s? ive always fancied them as i think they go better with the car. bit pissed off as i thought i could have got the car lower than on 12s and got better straight line grip!


How low do you want to go? I've got 10's, brilliant grip on A032R's
and it's like a go cart. If i lower it any more it'll be a hover mower lol. Ripped my exhaust off going up the Geat Orme on one of the speed humps, a very shallow hump at that. And wot's gay about 10's sweetie? sorry, i mean Will

It's not the age that makes me creak it's the mileage

In the garage......again!!

I have 13s on one of my cars and 10s on the other, they are exactly the same size diameter inluding the tyre, its all in the profile really, the 10s have more give in them on cornering so you can feel their limits. The 13s just have loads of grip but when they let go there's no initial feel or warning, one minute they stick to the road, next, your parked in a bush facing the other way.
