Got it , and already a tyre question !!

[NHyde]

After a few delays , finally got it , so Mrs H has now got sole ownership of the 400 , and I've got the SEAC

Question for Mr. shpub or Mr ACT .

The "bible" says 8.5J's and 245 x 45 . The car has 225 x 50's on the 8.5J's , . Know they should be changed , but concerned about ride height , is there a definitive height at the wheel arches ?

HI Neal. Welcome to SEAC ownership

I think you are getting confused over wheel diameters.

For a SEAC it is either 225/50 15 - 8.5J or an option of 245/45 16 - 9J. Therefore if you have got 225/50 15 tyres on 8.5 x 15 wheels that is correct.

I'm in danger of confusing everybody else as well as me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doh!

I see yours is a 450 Gerald , mine is a 420 , which is where I got the figures from in the bible .It did seem strange to me that the 420 was bigger than the 450 .

Congrats on your SEAC
Now i will throw the spanner in the works , my car runs 245 x 16 x 45 all round, yes all round and from new.Original wheels, mine was the motor show car so guess this explains it.

Problem is they look really skinny next to the 400's
225x50x15 which are on 8J's .

Its late , and before I confuse the issue anymore I'll get me coat

Thanks for the comments
