Tyres upgrade, sucessfully!

Post by Ippie »

I have just changed the tyres from 235/60/16 to 225/75/16 with the stock suspensions.
I have the "Performance" wheels but not sure with the offset and it doesn't rub with full locks from left and right.
There's no rubbing at all!
Really happy with the A/T tyre!

Just wanting to get the coil spacer in the near future!
:twisted:

and maybe the reason why he has no rubbing from the tyres is because its slightly skinnier too.

Well, I have no problem at all when driving mine on road.
But the back scrub the rear when doing light offroad.
I'm going to add the coil spacers as to add a couple of inches in height.

I'm ordering these from Taiwan.
They are selling the coil spacers in alumium, pretty cheap though.

Please contact me if anyone interested.

Where exactly are they rubbing?

How do you like the new Bridgestone's?

To check your rim offset, take off a wheel and stamped on the back of it should be either 5P or 15P as Performance Wheels make two different offsets in the RV-1 for a Suzuki.

Well, the front was OK when doing some easy offroading.
The rear was scrubing the fender a bit.
Just received the coil spacers and I will get them install in 2 days time.
Hope they would help. Hee!

The 694 is great!
Somehow, it's more quiet then the last set which was BT ER5.
Even my wife noticed!

Umm, I tried to check the stamp from the back of the wheels but I couldn't find any indication there.
The brand is Performance.
