Retro-gone. Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 looks like il be keepin the rostyles on but... should i keep the 185/70's or drop the profile to 185/60's/ im lowering the car to suit whichever tyres i use..
Copey Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 lower profile will give you a bit better handling so i say go lower, or do what i have and just lower the profile on the front, i have been told that a lower profile on the front than the rear is the best setup for a capri, how true or not that is i dont know though

Copey Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 i have 205/60 on the rear and 185/60 on the front with 6" rims your rims are 5 aint they? so stick with what you have on the rear and get a pair of 185/50 on the front here is a side on pic
mk1mexico Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 I think you should stick mate. Looks 'right'. Oh and thanks for the sunstrip, forgot to PM you I came home from work and the postman had pierced the end of the parcel and put it over my front door handle No damage fortunately.

Chris! Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 id go for 185/60s personally so would i to be honest
Retro-gone. Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Posted December 7, 2008 yeah that seems to be the most suggested, here and elsewhere. oh and Chris.. those wheels on ebay are HORRIBLE
Retro-gone. Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Posted December 8, 2008 wont fit under arches roger, not only that i dont think fitting 205's onto 5j wheels is a good idea, or am i wrong?
SmokeEm Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 185/60 x 13 Toyo R888 are the nuts Tony.
Slammed Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 apperently down here 205/60's are getting thin on the ground im stocking up on them soon if thats the case:)
