Swop 195 45 15 CR500's to 185/205 60 13 R888's

Dear All,

 

Just swopped wheels & tyres as above, very pleased with the result 😬

 

But .....

 

I have not managed to check the ride height yet, I suspect the rear is circa 20mm high with the fronts about the same as before. Do i need to be careful or is this very much fine tuning, obviously I will sort it but in the meantine i do not want to end up in a ditch ☹️

 

Is it easy to do & is anybody free this afternoon ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗

 

I suspect the difference on the road will be marginal but some comfort from you guys would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Simon

Lifting the rear of mine by 15mm made it very much more pointy at the front and loose at the back, so if you've gained 20mm rake I'd tread a bit carefully

Tom,

 

Thanks .. now you've got me worried

 

How long do recon it would take to drop the rear, may try to bag it today if I can

 

Cheers,

Took me about 20 mins per side to raise it on mine. I assume you've got adjustable platforms?

Tom,

 

Thanks, sounds fairly easy.

 

Yes to adjustable platforms, no to any special tools for the job so not sure if I can do it at the moment ?

 

Cheers,

 

Simon

Not sure you need special tools - depends what type of adjuster rings you have. The newer type have holes in so you can adjust with a stubby screwdriver rather than a c-spanner
