...martin do you agree the wheel is not really great on brake cooling in track mode?..Honestly interested as when i bought the mags i thought why did rally cars use such a covered area...until i found out what the threaded holes where for..lol
..ofcourse on the road they will be fine...
..and before people thing i am digging what about all you folk using/bigging up those siemens injectors.....taking the food out my house with talk like that

IF you are getting tyres like the 888 (on my sheels) that come up really wide make sure you get the aches sorted othereise they will rub mate

Don't worry about brake cooling.

they sure do. 235 seems to be very wide in the 888 range. Know any arch rolling specialists mate?

Not with 215/40 tyres but Rich has 235/40 888's which work out really wide so arch mods look imminent but grip will be good

I'm determined to keep the 235 size as like you say the grip will be good. am going to get the rear arches rolled and max stiffness on the rear. If that doesnt sort it i will have to get the next size down in the 888 range. Which is Martin?

Rather than reducing tyre size a trip to Birmingham would be the last resort
