Porkie Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 And any pics? I am liking the thought of some fat rubber on the rear... anyone got any pics? R888's only go upto a 235 as well in a 15 so would probably use the Avon CR500. heard these are alot better than the R888's. anyone used them?? thanks in advance Quote
Bananaman Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Think the widest rim you'll get on the back with out going XW rear arches is 8" not sure if you'll fit 235's on them with out fouling arches/suspention Can i ask why you want such wide rubber? would 215's not suffice? Quote

Because I currently have almost 400bhp and more importantly 400lbft of torque and will no doubt be going 550bhp+ shortly.... So do you really think 215 tyres are going to be enough? The Caterham CSR has 245's from the factory with under half the power I will be having.... AND yes I'm from Essex so need them as they look 'phat as oops, i said a naughty word! innit bruv' P.S anyone help me on best place to locate Neons on my Westy? Quote
Dave Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I've got 8 inch on the rear of my early seiw, you could fit 9's but working out the offset will be the biggest problem anyone help me on best place to locate Neons on my Westy On the back of the car arranged in the following way C H A V Quote
DAVE O Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 If you go for X wide arches you can run up to about 11" wide wheels at the rear no problem. Most of the slick shod sprint cars have this set up... Quote
Porkie Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks Dave O. just looked at the Westy arches on the Factory shop. Not exactly giving those away are they! Dave the Caterham wheels are ET40. Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Or an easier way would be to fit a Xflow you will not need big wheels then Quote

Have you consulted your tuner/builder on this yet? Quote
polly_x Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 One for the experts. Just before these are purchased and I think my research is correct. (seen a few people run the 13 inchers) The Caterham CSR PCD is the same as a Westy which is often referred to as Ford Fitment yes??? Quote
Mark B Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Yes mate it's 108 pcd which is ford fitment.... HTH btw just noticed you have tillett seats in yours, which one are they? Cheers, Mark. Quote

Hi Mark, thanks for the confirmation. Will be ordering 8 of them from the cateringvan shop tomorrow for Porkies off heres Westfield! I actually cannot remember on the seats as they were bought a couple of years back. Got together with a couple of other chaps off here and bought 6 of them. They are B somethings! But not sure which number exactly. Very cool and light though! Quote
combatsapph Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Porkie - I have the extra wide arches on my car - let me know if you need any measurements etc. Quote
