what size spiders

[tweety]

Please can someone tell me the size to put on a Cerby and are they the fronts from a Tuscan?

Cheers Al.

18s,Tuscan fronts all round fit the best.

Thanks Mike, but what width are they, I have a set which are the same size all round, but am not sure if they're fronts or backs.

Cheers Al.

Ive just had a set of anthracite spyders fitted on a 98 cerbera. On TVR advice 18 x 8 (tuscan front) all round with 255/35 rear 225/35 front tyres

18x8.5J all around as in a whole inch wider than the original 16s. Expect ocean liner tuning circle, harsh ride due to narrower tyres and possible suspension mess up due to the extra weight. But the do look fantastic :-D

Personally found the ride to be more to my liking with the 18s on, but I have gone with 35 profile front & 40 rear. Suspension is as fine as it could be without fitting Nitrons, etc. too. Definitely agree that they look much better, and that the QE2 has more chance of doing a three point turn on the roads around here, though.

So are we saying that 18x8's or 18x8.5's can be fitted? Cos I thought there was some issue with rubbing the inner arches.

Cheers Al.

i think the main issue with rear spiders is that they have a different offset to the fronts hence pushing them further out,there quite a bit thicker where they meet the hub i think.
