A question for those running Camira 14's, what tyre size are you running to not scrub on the shocker at the front?

I've got a pair off a trailer I had, and the 195-65's just wouldn't play ball! Got the same tyres on a set of CSA 5 star mags and they scrub the wheel well at 1/2 lock but the off-set clears the shocker, although I now have to pump the guards at the front it sits so low. Looks like 185-60/14 it is, for either rims.

Thanks again,
Yonnee.

yeah I had some laser Horizon special edition rims 14x6, the were off the laser with the little tail lip, and the were the first laser with 4x100 stud pattern, my mate bought em for his laser but the pattern had changed he was real pissed em sold em to me Cheap, anyway with a 5mm spacer on the front I could run a 195x60x14 no prob,

Cheers,

Eggy

Must be real close to the footwell on 1/2 lock. With 65 series tyre mine just scrub, although the only reason Racegem is not sitting on the bumpstops is that they are cut in half!! Surprised)

Yeap I have a PV which has the fron bump stops cut in half, and lowered on Peders springs, and it was close but they just use to fit, for better handling I played around with 2 spacers a side,

Cheers

I'm running 195/60/R14s on the front with 5mm spacers one the front...no rubbing!

However without the spacers i'd say 185/65's are about da maximum

Thanks Ryan. I'm thinking 185-60/14 on the CSA mags I've got. Unless I find someone willing to part with some 13x7's.
