99176 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Got the wheels which I presume are straight fit, but what tyres would be best ?Any clearance problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAJ Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wheels are a straight fit but you may experience arch clearance problems on the back.I did with my pi and 195/60 tyres.Its to do with the offset of the wheels, which although only 6x15 do have a lot of dish on them.I have some 6x14 wheels with 195/70/14 tyres and they dont touch on either car.Colin.

thescrapman Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 TR6 steel wheels on a Mk2 is a bit like playing Russian Roulette, only very occassionally do they fit.They hit the arches on the back as teh offset is wrong. Even with very skinny tyres.You could fit Mk1 rear suspension of course.There will now follow a chorus of Mk2 owners who have done it without any issues what-so-ever... :-)CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The clue here is how many Mk2's you see with TR6 wheels compared to how many Mk1's you see with them. :)Mk2's have a wider track than the Mk1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
