hi all
today i offered up a back wheel to see how much tyre i can fit under the arches. the 205 60 15 is tight on the arch, it'll clear with a slight dressing up of the lip. i do have a good pair of 195 65 15 goodyear's so i'll get them fitted tomorrow along with the pair of 165 15's for the front. the pcd adapters have an m12 x 1.25 fine thread and we don't keep lugnuts that thread in the 11/16" shank size the weld wheels are. we do keep them with a 3/4" shank so i've ordered a 3/4" drill bit off of ebay and i'll open the holes in the wheels to suit. i tried an 11/16" shank nut of a different thread and it's quite a sloppy fit in the holes anyway, i'm happier having a better fitting shank so it's all good.
