S3 Whitewall tyres

[carlv12]

Hello,

I prefer 16" because with 225/60 R16 the diameter is bigger than 225/60 R15 or 235/60 R15. 235/60 R15 is ONLY available from Pirelli and if Pirelli stops production you must change to 225/60 R15 or 225/65 R15. Therefore I prefer 16", because you gain 1/2" of clearance with 225/60 R16 against 225/60 R15. And that is a lot when driving with a lowered car.

Regards from Valencia

The car looks fantastic but I hope you don't mind me saying it's spoilt only by that "hair net"....it has to go surely, it belongs to MGF and MX5 owners. :?

A proper mans car needs only the Roof top down wind in the barnet

I think your car looks stunning, great colour, looks perfect with the 16"s and the whitewalls.

A stunning looking car, the wider and taller wheels and whitewalls look great.

Yeah - try telling that to the wife on a 1200 mile run to the south of France. We use our wind jammer (aka The Blowviator) whenever we are on the Autoroutes otherwise after a couple of hours you feel as though you have been in the ring with Mike Tyson.

Hello Mat

I hope you made good progress on restoring your car (E50 next year ) . Have you been able to try these enduro tyres you purchased as mentionned in your first message of this post?
Anyone else got experience with it?

best regards
