tyre options for capri

[mrmoo]

just picked up a pair of revolution 15" 9j 5 spokes for the pushing end of the capri

need some road tyres at the moment that will be ok for some occasional drag strip use

at the moment the v6should be around 200bhp with gas

[mrmoo]

no one else running 15x9j wheels?

any help appriciated, having problems finding any tyres to fit apart from drag slicks at the moment

someone must sell them somewhere!

Probably best to look at American tyre suppliers M8 as thats a tad wide (& an unusual size) for UK tyres.

I had to get a set of BFGoodrich for my Dodge Charger a while back & got them from a member on the Mopar Muscle Club website.

Also take a look on American e-bay (go to the UK homepage, scroll to the bottom, & click USA).

Sorry but I have only just seen this thread.

Are these for your MK1? If so are you putting arches on then?

 

They are much taller than standard and will affect your gearing as well.

[mrmoo]

these are for my mk1 darren

its being built as a road/drag strip monster

just been given a freebee salisbury axle off a mate from the WON forum

it costs atleast £400 for a 2nd hand lsd for the atlas, but only £230 for a brand new diff locker for a salisbury

the salisbury also has a cwp of 3.9:1 as standard, so it more than covers the extra rolling radius

its also narrower than the atlas so hopefully the tyres will sit within the stock archs

its gonna need the inner archs cutting and moving, but im hoping to keep that to a minimum by jacking the ass up lol

proper muscle car stance

It sounds like a plan mate!

[mrmoo]

10"inch wide tyres anyone????

 

 

placed them next to the existing wheels on the car yesterday

and believe it or not they fit!!!!!!!!

atleast 1inch over clearance to the arch the whole way round

due to longer homemade droplinks

that should increase once fitted cuz the existing tyres are much smaller

 

ill try and get some pics on later fitted to the car

white letters too!! very cool!!!!
