BenLAST Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 With some stretched tyres i could probably get away with it, but i think i'd rather have the Mattigs refurbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Quick tyre question for anyone. When i get the wheels refurbed, i'm going to need new tyres on the rears. I'm running 175/50's all round, fronts are fine, but the rears scrape quite a bit, manily coming on and off my drive. How would 165/55's sit? More stretch obviously, but will that reduce/get rid of the scraping with the larger profile? Think it'll look pretty wierd with 175's on 7s up front, and 165's on 8's rear, but o well.

BenLAST Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Can you Does anyone know if you can get 165's for 13's in 50 or lower profile? Just realised the 55 profile is more likely to catch, and make it look as if it has less stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Lowest profile 165 for 13's is a 55.The 55 is a percentage, so it's about the same size sidewall as a 175/50.175/50's are massive compared to 165/55's, IMO. Would think it would solve your scrubbing problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Apparently, my dad has ordered a set of 165/50 Nankings from his work (he works at Hertz), whether or not they are 50's, we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Would ask little rich mate, i'm still yet to find out!Cars off the road as of Sunday. Will be dropping the Tombstones off to Icegeezer for some of his handy work, and the interior will start pouring out! No doubt there will be pics of my troubles. Will be going to the Coventry cruise with a dash, a wheel and two seats. O, and the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Got some 165/55 Nankings sitting next to me to go on after the wheels get refurbed. I want more bass now, but i think airbags first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPS Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Airbags? I don't think they are necessary on a lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 They're necessary when i can't get to my works car park because the car is too low. If the car will be getting an over-haul, the last thing i want is a cracked gearbox, scrapped and battered sills, and an exhaust hanging off. So in my eyes, they are necessary.

BenLAST Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Another question about Dynomat.Would this be of similar quality?
