Re: Nice car Rudy ! (archive)

Hi, Lez!
Yes I am sure about the price since I paid it, it is indeed very cheap, the tyres come from crashed cars in Germany 6 or 7 mm profile that is very good!
The wheel carrosserie is adapted with Alpine parts, that is also the reason the 20"rims fits.
It is hard to explain because I do not know all the technical english words.
The Pirelli tires I'm going to put on monday, when the car is in the garage, then I can see how many inches is left to try the 285 the next time.

greetings,
Rudy

I buy now Pirelly 255/35/20 so good as new for $65. <- Are you sure about the price ? That's very cheap !!!

(I want also the Dunlop�s 285/35/20 for the same money but I don�t know if the tyre fit under the car.) I don't knwo either, but foer the same money, they are good for decorations as weel as seats or ... I can't think of anything else, but a 20" tire for less then 100USD is a gift !

I drive now Michelin Pilot-SX MXX3 Front:245/40/ZR20 Rear:275/35/ZR20. That is a verry good tyre.

if you run the 275/35ZR20 and no problem, the 285/35 shouldn't be a problem either, but the 285 will be a bit taller and you already 2" taller where you should be... the car will accelerate slower and I'm not even getting into the wheel bearing problems... unsprung weight problems !!!
