hey all,

I am looking at getting some wider tyres for the BG. I know that Lynx has 215's but not sure about how they would go with super lows/lows. I have lows on at the moment but they say super low. I have compared my vehicle ride height to Dave McCann's monster BPT and it seems to be the same height.

Cut along story short, what would be the go with doing something like that, as crazy as it is :).. but we all know tinastar to be crazy, right?

Aim - 215/45/16's on rolled gaurds.. (rear)

i'd say minor scraping, but maybe not with rolled guards. you didn't have any issues with the 17" right? those aren't much bigger.

what width will the rims be?

plus 215/45-R16 is only 600mm diameter, not so crazy...

RY RY!!

I am crazy, ok? :p Dont steal my thunder! hahaha

yeah the 17s would rub a bit, the 16s atm rub a bit too, but i dont think that can be avoided..

if your wheels/tyres keep rubbing, maybe looking at what offsets you need will help this situation also???

on the BGs 215s will scrape at the rears even with standard height...but with rolled guards they wont scrub lowered...

when did i say i want comfort for passengers?
i said that there is people in the car more often than not.. if you put 2 n 2 together then you will get more people = more weight = lower the ass end gets..
