Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 with the new tyres .. will it look better if i drop it another inch?
Slammed Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Looks well cool tony!drop it an inch on the back and two on the front for a mean look
richie_stix Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 yikes... i personally would have gone for some coopa cobras of bf goodrich's... don't like modern tyres on old car's (unless they are track/strip cars)
antz Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 damn they do look tiny. maybe drop it an inch at the front and see what it stands like then do the back if needs be.it might looks better then gutted for your tony. tyres aint cheap
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 cant practically drop it any more due to the speedbumps round here . they are coming off and my goodyears are goin back on for now, the 70 profile give it the 70;s look where as these 60's just look stupid .. fookin gutted.. anyone want a set of brand new falkens ? cost me £207 fitted, il take offers or swaps ?
Stu_B Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 They don't look that bad, better than the ballons you had on before IMO Get some white lettering on there, apparently theres a company that can make them up saying anything you want.
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 they look worse in the flesh stoob, they really do look tiny.
DAZZA Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Im a huge fan of lower the better, but I have to say your old ones are more in theme with your car.
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 doesnt handle any different at all, ive only done a couple of miles but just doesnt seem and different.. they have took the 70's look away from the car and thats what im into.. what the fook did i do it for i blame you lot anyway they are comin off, even the wife says it lost a lot of its retro look.
jay Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 not sure really, the white letters stand out well? maybe thats what your missing? (i prefere the old tires)
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 they look really thin from front too, havent spread as much as the goodyears..
Copey Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 im goin for a cry . stick bigger tyres on the rear and leave the 60's on the front and lower your car a tad at the front, will look good and then you will only have to buy 2 tyres
Stu_B Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah just stick some big 'uns on the back...
stuartp Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 still looks damn good to me with either tyres on i'm not even a massive capri fan but you'd have to do something spectacular to that car to make me not love it
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 i think the problem is the mk1 capri has such wide arches, ok i could lower the car to close the gap between top of the tyre and the arch but the huge gap either side of the tyre will always be the same.. dya know what i mean? these low pro's look the biz on other cars but not this one.. the 70 profiles fill the gap all the way round, balloony or not they look better so they wll be back on tomorrow.. i think the only way to close up that gap is to go for 15" wheels with low pro's on, so the rolling circumference reamains the same.. if you guys could see my car in the flesh from different angles youd agree that the tyres look awfull.. still, we live and learn eh.. just a shame its cost me 200quid to realise.
Copey Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 i think the problem is the mk1 capri has such wide arches, ok i could lower the car to close the gap between top of the tyre and the arch but the huge gap either side of the tyre will always be the same.. dya know what i mean? i know that feeling, but 15" banded steels to come cant tell too much, but i have 60's on the front and they dont fill the rear are 60's too, but they are 205's so the side wall is bigger
NginEEr Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 do what i did and paint the lettering thats all ready on the sidewalls. i did it to a set of nankangs
Retro-gone. Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 its not the white lettering im bothered about mate. couldnt give a monkeys about that.
mk2 escy ron Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 deffo looks better with the old ones mate
walsh253 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 looks fine to me,but i never have liked white letters
5hane Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 balloon's have to go back on sorry, but they dont suit the car. also i know your not bothered about the white lettering, but they do break it up a bit, and look class on your car
jamesmk1 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 go to 235,6013, at the back and 205,60,13 at the fornt
