Big FAT Wheels

Post by Matt & Sarah Avery » Tue Sep 13, 2005 9:29 pm

Bit late, but never mind. 17 x 7 running 205 40s on a 25mm offset.
Lowered suspension and no worries about scrubbing guards. As someone
else mentioned, its a simple task to bend the inner guard mounts up and
out of the way. Does tramline occasionally and a bit harsher with 40
series tires but nothing I cant live with. 205s are just enough
(supercharged) for most driving, but traction soon disappears when you
stamp on it.

Pete:
Did you have youre car dyno'd with the turbo2 link??
What boost were you running to get to 180RWHP?
How big is the extra injector used on that set up?
Im trying to work out whether my 330cc injectors are
going to be big enough for the 8 psi or so I'll be
running on the 1600. (cross fingers)
