Title: Team dynamic 1.3 wheels in 35 offset
Post by: geordie56 on May 17, 2011, 04:58:37 pm
I have spoken with revo and a few others today regarding the Team dynamic 1.3  in 18x8.5 and I can get hold of the 1.3 TDs , but it's a wait of 3 weeks. They have said the same that I will have to drop to a 225 as they don't do a 235 in r1r tyres, can anyone see this being a problem. Also they said that it may stick out a bit far from the arch, as they have tried a few, however I have vmr on a 35 offset at the minute and they are fine don't stick out at all, so am I right in assuming that the TD should not stick out being of the same offset? Cheers guys. I could do with knowing as I will hopefully be ordering these tommorow.

So are 8.5" wide?

If so they will sit in the same place in the arch as the TD 1.3's.

Also 225's on a 8.5" rim will be a little stretched.

Sorry yes they are 19" at the minute and 8.5 with a 35mm offset. They have 235/35's on them. What would you recommend tyre wise then as I would have liked the r1r's to be honest but if they are going to be stretched hmmm any ideas. After the reviews and advice on these tyres I would have liked these.
