Hi all,

Couple of quick questions. I’m running 245/45ZR16s on my Wedge, which are non-standard, and can’t remember the tyre pressures (for a variety of reasons I haven’t used the car for a while). Anyone got a recommendation?

Secondly, the front suspension has been modified and lowered (professionally) and the trade off is some slight fouling of the arches over bigger bumps. I am going to need new tyres on the front shortly and wondering if I can change for a lower profile at the front. If so any recommendations?

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks, that’s what I thought so good to be reassured. Now off to start the old girl up 👍

I use 20lbs all round on mine. It depends how it feels - you need to experiment.

Back to the wheels fouling, could I run 15s on the front (assuming I could find a good pair hanging around)? This would help me out, given that both rear wheels are somehow buckled and need to come off the car to be refurbed.

Cheers.

225s front and 245s rear. Yes, wider tyres do foul a bit at front.

Generally run mine at 24 all round
