MONGYUK and anyone else who is running 215/35/19 tyres, what model of tyre do you find works best for you? stretch etc.
As for arch work, what normally gets done? who is doing it and how much is it costing?

thanks for your help guys

Your new wheels will be sitting 28mil further out than a monza II. that means you will have a bit of poke, you can adjust the camber on the back a bit, whether you would want to is another matter you get excessive tyre wear depending on how much you put on.
on the front You can get the lip of the arch pinned in and the wheel liner moved up, but again i dont think this will be enough, but i am not sure, again you can buy camber adjust top mounts to tuck them in far enough, but tyre wear pops up its head again.
After this your talking £££ to get arch work done.  :happy2:

Hi Iain,

As topcat said you will have to pin back a clip on the front wheel arch (you can do this yourself) after this you should be fine.

The tyres I use at the moment are Falken 452's
from here    http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s76p0
But i would recommend the P Zero Nero.

Hope this helps.

MONGYUK AND TOPCAT, thanks for the info. im a little concerned about the buffing issue and really dont want to go down the route of rolling arches etc. the one thing in my favour is that im not going to be decking the car out as low as it can go. was looking for a slighlty lower stance compared to standard.
will keep you guys updated on whats happening with them.

thanks again

Iain
