Its just the same people buddy, I was only putting CAPITALS so everyone can see it :D

I took my spacers of the car, Then the Borbets don't fit back on, So maybe the drums as shit on my car....

What would you do??

usualy its the wheel hitting your suspension springs, had this a few times, spacers are indeed the answer.

If your struggling, take it to a local tyre place and see if they can recommend any better tyres for you, avoid big places like kwikfit, as they general stick to a tyre/wheels size guide.

Lmao, To be fair, When i took the Borbets of for some 14's off a 6r Steels, I had to keep the rear spacers on, I think my rear hubs are shit.

Back to tyres:

Its between

185/65/14R

185/50/14R

185/45/15R

i hope to god you meant 185/45/14 :lol:

Its not the drums that are shit, its you :lol:

185..... 65.....14, Have you read anything in this thread?

Best bet is the 185/45/15 mate. Or a 165/55/13 possibly.

Well, Why do i need to have spacers then, The hubs are to fat for the actual wheels thats why i have spacers.

185/65/14 or 185/55/14 I'm thinking :)

Mate, your drums are smaller than the discs attached to the front. If they don't fit then your borbets must be 10 inch or something. I am willing to bet 50 quid of my own real life money (not that monopoly shit) that if you take the spacers off or fit smaller ones you will be reet, stop fannying about with tyres and get a friend to help you with the fitting of wheels.

Yeah man, I've had so much help with this thread and I'm still learning, I'm grateful for all the piss taking and also the general people who want to help other members so thanks!

I'm just going to think about what I'm doing, I might sell them tbf :)

what is happening here? unless your running some sort of adapter or need to the spacer to clear the brakes i dont know why you have them, you need your arches rolling, you can only fit 14" tyres to 14" wheels, i gave you options on the last page

anyway take your pick from here: 14" Tyres

Its the drums/hubs on the actual car mate, So tomorrow I'm going to get a new set see if they are any different fitted and go from there but anyone you have helped me alot mate ! That links great

Ash!

Ash mate pay for my petrol up there and I'll sort out your wheels and drums....

ibtl :lol:

This thread, needs to be in the thread of epic threads :lol:

spacers because the hubs too big

13" or 15" on my 14"

tyres rubbing, dunno why, have 8mm spacers on

Right, remove spacers and have wheel machined to the correct size (will be a matter of mm at most.

This will solve every single problem you are having lol.

Also lay off ash a little guys, hes a sound guy, yeah ok maybe his car knowledge isn't the best and yeah we can all have some banter with him but it seems EVERY thread he puts up he gets abuse, and yeah some of his questions he asks are a little OTT but he oviously doesn't know that's why he asks, we all started somewhere. And I have to agree with ash it's the same people in every thread taking things a little too far.

I'm running 195 45 14 on 8j borbet ts

I had the above on my 8j borbets and they were fine, plus i didnt use spacers.

165-55-14s' I'm sure i sent you a pm .. 185 65's will be bigger than you got now ..

I do try to help him as much as i can but i cant but help rip people if they egnore what i say .. :) It takes alot to get me wound up lol

I'm chatting shit cus I'm drunk and tierd . If you've got 200 Get some 165-55-14 inch bridgestones off blackcircle's/mytyres.co.uk

END OF THREAD >> CHOICE DONE there you go ash .. No more piss taking :) ..Oh thanks jamie ..

Ok lads, cheers Jake :) Jamie!

As for Polomon, dont speak about my grandad please. He doesnt know about tyrsa.

Just in future if your going to just rub my lack of car knowledge in then dont bother commenting please

I thought this Forum had friendly genuine people like Jake and many others but the same people seem to pop up and instead of advice try pointing you in the wrong direction. I do business at college not motor vehicle Fml, epic thread...smd.

Ps: thanks to everyone who helped.

Just gonna whore my tyre size. as this thread has failed
