I'll put my 195/60's on the rear and get some 175/55's for the front , i think 165's are going to be too small and too low. Ideas??

Called my local bridgestone dealer, i've got two 175/55/15's coming on Sat, $180 each, not the cheapest but these oem tyres should last a while, now do i go 195/55/15 on the rear or ...... decisions :lol:

Aren't you going on a camping surf trip to SA?!? And you've just lowered it?

Isn't the best SA surf off the beaten track (i.e. bumpy dirt tracks)? Or are you sticking to the bitumen...

Lucky bugger! :D

Hi, can you tell me how much is your front beam narrowed by, and are you running flipped K&L spindles?

Thanks
