Rays Vesta Serbring - great tyres and tread - bargin at £450 ovno

Post by oddshoes »

HI All

The alloys where refurbished had not long been I got them and then I put new decent tyres front and rear on them with the correct profiles too

Fronts;
Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 running 205/45/16 on a 7j rim 7mm thread

Rear;
Kumho SPT KU31 running 225/45/16 on a 8j rim 8mm tread

I choose these tyres because of there good wet grip and decent reviews especially since the Toyo T1Rs have gone down in quality since changing where there manufactured. Sadly when the garage was fitting the tyres the scratched one of the rims and I didn't notice as they went straight into the back of my passat at the time and I will get a picture of this in due course. Below is a picture of what the look like on my v6 back in September when I prep'd the car for JAE.

Heres a side pic of my car with the wheels on

Nice wheels :D

Do these fit a normal turbocharged Rev3 from 1995?

Thanks Sheppy and Oddshoes, do you think there can be any rubbing/catching the wheels on the arches?

Sounds pretty cool on the rubbing the arch front. Just out of interest what are "spacers" and what do they do?

They fit between the hub and the wheel to push the wheel further out.
