Droop snoot wheels on a hc saloon

Postby slammed 66 » Tue Jun 29, 2010 12:27 am

Hey chaps,

I've just bought a set of Avon safety wheels from a droop snoot and am just wondering what they'll look like on my 2 door. Hopefully I can get them collected and on for billing (if I can get my head gasket sorted :( )

many thanks

What tyres have the wheels got on them....if they are 205/60's the fronts will rub on the inner arches and floorpan.
Ideally use 185/60's on front...the 205's will be ok on the back.
They'll look cool.

Hey Paul, thanks for the reply.

I think they're 205 60s but I run 185 55s on my coupe which I think will be just right on this with a 50 - 60 mm drop. I want it to look a little period modified hence why I haven't gone straight for superlites. I'm also considering a 'hot' 1256 instead of an ecotec to stay in keeping but I'm easilly led astray.

Does anyone have any pics on there hard drive of an hc wearing avons?

Thanks again

Ross
