No more 18" speculation here........
 
Got Bluebird on the road this weekend with the 18's.....Incredible ride.......:eek:

90mph down the Beeline past Moroso....no hands....the feeling of these 'footprints' is amazing. This car was built for 18's.........225/40 up front, 295/30 rear....

So...how much are wheel bearings.......:D

Great, another going against the tide :)

225/40 & 265/35 in the rear on mine. Photos soon as my new bumpers and duck get here this week from Getty.

What tires did you go with? I have Conti's on there, but S03's ready to go in the spring beside her.

Yea, I run 245/35 18 and 275/35 18's on the track. The more the merrier...

Cheers, James

Running Pilot Sports.....it's always spring down here.....:D

Lukesportsman 01-18-2005 06:23 PM

Do you like the 225/40's? Did you consider the 35 series for the front or did the pilots even come in that size? I thought that the OD might look better, but was concerned with the very short side wall with that application.

Luke, these were 'take offs' (OE) from a C4S which I picked up for a reasonable price....I just went with the flow.....

I am pissed you can fit 295's on 11 in wheels in the back of your SC. Wide body or not!

Tonight I was at a buddies house and he let me try on several combos (he has a full garage of wheel and tire combos). I fitted a set of 996 turbo II's but they were about an inch too wide. So, I'm in the hunt for a set of turbo II in the narrow body et65 offset on a 10 in wheel. Hard to find, but they're out there.

Again, beautiful car you have there. Just get some H4 or H5's.
