Blatman Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 205/60's on a 7x13 rim will fit as long as the offset "right". As you already have 205's, I don't see a problem. IMO a 7" rim is the optimal size for a 205 tyre. Clunking noise only when turning could be something as simple as driveshaft slack/lsd slack being taken up. If you don't have an LSD, I'd start checking shock absorber and wishbone bushes and mounts. After that, move on to wheel hubs/bearings, then diff output bearings. There'll will be more from others more knowledgable than me in a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Sounds like your propshaft is touching the chassis on cornering. Adjust your panhard rod to move the diff nose away from the chassis or check that your diff / propshaft flange are 3 and 3/8" diameter and not larger.

chazpowerslide Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 My prelit did the same, it was the axle fouling the tranamission tunnel. Also look for the O/S wheel fouling the wheel arch. Its common apparantly, " they all do that sir" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
