165/50 15's who runs them besides dom?

[captainvw]

Wondering if any one on here is running 165/50 15's on thier mach 1 ? need rubber for the Ronals i just bought but not sure if im lower enough to pull it off .I need to daily this thing and dont want to sacrifice anymore comfort at he mo it just tucks 175/70 13's
From what i can work out i'll have a 12.5 mm air gap between the Guards and rubber how its sits now going lower is not an option yet (need strutt top spacers ball joint extenders drop plates to retain some suspension movement)

Are you that low you sort of need to notch the subframe and strengthen the sump? I though those things came first.

Having mates at a tire shop is cool, because I've learnt to fit tires myself and can just rock up and try sizes haha.

So will I when I can be.

Yeah would have like to have had some other things done before the wheels purchase but they where the right price and now i cant just have them sitting there in the corner.....wheel see how the look sat tyres are ordered should be in 2 moz $96 fitted and balanced for the Nankang's in 165/50 15's have to be happy with that.Before anybody startys dissing the Nankangs anything will be better than the 13s i was driving on and i cant justify spending double that on Bridgestones

As long as it's not going to be a sports car... or need grip in the wet... Nankangs are fine.

Looking forward to seeing it!
