CRAIG-SR Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I am wanting to put 195/50 tyres all round, though my car is lowered 40mm and i think it may scrub on the arch, will i need a panhard rod or some thing else to be able to put 50s on, or will i need the arch rolling. If any one can help or there is some thing else i could get Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You forgot to mention your on the bottom setting of koni adjustable shocks so your way lower than 40mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Shocks only control the damping, not ride heightDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liam2368 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 all depends on the offset of your wheels,I've used 55's and im lowered 40mm and no scrape at all because its the right offset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 If you have lowered it at all you should need an adjustable pan hard rod as the standard one throws the back wheels out to one side.As for arch rolling no idea to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Shocks only control the damping, not ride heightDamienKoni's are height adjustable, you can alter how low the spring sits down the shock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Actually i might be talking bollocks, i cant remeber why i think there height adjustable, either way 40mm springs on koin's sit way lower the 40mm springs on standard shocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRAIG-SR Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Do yous think i should try the panhard rod?It dose sit low to say its lowered 40mm.Thanks for the help so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RicoW Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 what liams said, it all depends of the ofside of your wheels mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevink Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 wheel offset mate, that what counts.WIKI speaks:Zero Offset - The plane of the hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.Positive Offset - The plane of the hub mounting surface is shifted from the centerline toward the front or outside of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.Negative Offset - The plane of the hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheel's centerline."Deep dish" wheels typically have negative offset or a very low positive offset.To maintain handling characteristics and avoid undue loads on bushings and ball joints, the car manufacturer's original offset should be maintained when choosing new wheels unless there are overriding clearance issues.Wheels are usually stamped with their offset using the German prefix "ET", meaning "Einpresstiefe" or, literally, "insertion depth". An example would be "ET45" for a 45mm offset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
