Snoozin Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's at ride height I want it - the LCA and steering arm angles are pretty much cock on for where they need to be, and it has plenty of useable travel for max real world hoonage at all opportunities. The issues at hand: - with the outer wheel weights positioned behind the spokes, I get some interference with the calipers. So I yanked these off (20g) and bolted wheel on. - dialled in some camber, now things fit pretty much bang on width wise. I think if I swap to some 175/60/13 tyres, which are the same diameter as the 165/65 I have on the A3A it'll look the part. 14's aren't an option though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 can you fit bigger rca's? agree it's not going to happen on those tyres. unless you don't want to drive it. bit more tyre, rca and low should work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah I probably could, although things will get tight inside a 13" wheel! I'm pretty keen to not go much lower, there's no engine in there yet so that'll drop the front a bit and shorter rear springs will drop the back. Will reassess then, but for now I think with camber plus 175/60 it'll look good as it sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Taller tyre will help. Ride height is good, but dat gap. 185/60 no good? Really needs to be laden to nail it properly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Fitting up some 175/60 this weekend all going well... Brad nah 185/60 won't work on these wheels, but I think I'll be sussed on 175/60! It looks right on the A3A... and the diameter of those with a 165/65 is effectively the same as a 175/60. And so it goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Cert will be fine, the 165/65 on my 13x6 are legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 You sure? Inch more wheel and only 10mm more tyre. Guess it depends on your cert man. I was a no go with 175s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 No I mean it will be fine on the 13x6, but will happily run around on the 175 without any drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
