zetec Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Live axle fitment. Tyres are 185 60 r13 road use only with no puntures etc Tread about 5-4 mm each, no curbing & balanced. On my car at mo & been there since I bought her, very well looked after! With centres but one centre is damaged,just bolt straight on your car. I'm changing to 14" wheels due to ground clearance after Zetec conversion. £350 total, can arrange meet around Surrey Berkshire area if not buyer collects Cash on collection, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Interesting comment about ground clearance. I'm also converting from x/flow to Zetec and wasn't expecting any problems, but then again, I have 185/70/13 profile tyres. How much ground clearance do you think you would have lost? ----- Chris Alston C7CAT Supersprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 You'll be fine with those Tyres, I'll have same as you once these 14" go on,I prefer to keep same look profile on car so went up a wheel size instead of tyre size. My driving is only on the road & need to make 4th a tad longer,this should cure a few things for me in one hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm using 60 profile tyres on my Zetec car and the only significant problems I experience are: 1. Occasionally hitting gate centre posts on a driveway (you get used to avoiding them!) 2. Speedo reading slightly out. Otherwise I can't say there's any major problem. If I remember correctly, you can only get 70 profile tyres as 185s and I have 205s on the rear. 'Have you any idea what it's like to have the wind rushing through your hair!'

RobW Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Why not just adjust the suspension to give more ground clearance on 13's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
