i use this site.... A super dooper wheel offset calculator...website link

ive answered your other Q aswell

First, the US has been the major market for tires for most of the past century. Second, although scientists and technologists in the US have embraced the metric system, the common man in the street (including members of Congress) know little or nothing about the metric system and actively resist any changes from the English (as we call them here) system of weights and measurements. Third, government bureaucracies have cast English units into law making it very difficult to change to metrics given the feeling of the voters. This includes the powerful US Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Before the introduction of European made radial tires for passenger cars into the US in the 1960s, American-made tires used English units to denote the size of a tire. Some size examples are: 6.00X13, 8.25X14, 5.60X15, 7.00X14, 7.50X15, 6.00X15 The first 3 numbers of the size measured the width of the tire casing at its widest point. For example, the 6.00 of the size 6.00X13 is 6 inches wide. This called the section width. The 13 of a 6.00X13 is the diameter of the wheel, in inches, that the tire is to be mounted on. For each diameter of tire there was only one standard width! While domestic tire manufacturers and the D.O.T. were changing the tire sizing systems from Numeric to Alpha-Numeric during the 1960's, the European tire manufacturers went to a Metric system of sizing predominantly because of radialization. Some metric size examples would be: 165SR13, 175/70SR13, 185SR14, 195/70SR14, 155SR15, 215/60HR15, 165SR15. You will notice there is little similarity here in some of the numbers to numeric or alpha-numeric sizing except for the last 2 digits; 13,14 or 15 which is still the diameter of the wheel, in inches, that the tire is to be mounted on. However, where the numeric system used a 6.00 or 7.00 to denote the cross- section of a tire in inches, the Metric system uses the numbers 165 from the 165SR13 to denote the measurement of the cross-section in millimeters. Thus because historically Americans did not need to know about tire dimensions, except for the wheel diameters, European tire manufacturers were able to use metric dimensions for tires except for the diameter which was written into previous US law to be measured in inches. Thus, all European manufacturers needed to do to get into the vast US market, which did not produce radial tires at that time, was to change one number on the tire into inches to meet US law. Also, the 1960 radialization and technology increased the tire manufacturer's ability to improve the performance of the tire dramatically by increasing the section width and reducing the sidewall height of the tire. This change of the aspect ratio needed to be reflected when stating the size. An example of section width increase in size on the same wheel diameter would be 155"82"SR13 or 155SR13 to 175/70SR13 or 205/60R13. All 3 sizes essentially have the same sidewall height but notice the section widths increased from 155 mm to 175 mm and 205 mm as the aspect ratio respectively changed from "82" to 70 to 60. The overall tire diameters of these 3 sizes should be within 3% of each other. However, this 3% difference in diameter did cause some problems for the general public in the US because standard automobile odometers indicated less mileage using the reduced diameter of radial tires. The general public thought that the radial tires were reducing their car’s fuel economy. Today, the global market, and concerns about tire safety have resulted in an ongoing series of international meetings trying to standardize tire parameters, including loading.

tony has answered your question

54.1mm that is if your referring to the 4 bolt hole model mazda, which i am assuming you are, then they will fit like these wheels for example A link..... the starlet also has the same bore diameter, which is the same as the older corollas as well

The 306? TBH I haven't looked yet. The 205 only had shocks though. yes they both have a torsion bar which runs inside another tube..as does the 106, and a few others...s***e system on the Pugs

according to the TRD parts list for the Netz cup cars there was never a rear ARB, or Front ARB listed however the Yaris T-Sport did have a front bar fitted as standard, so i would imagine the Vitz has one aswell

an old trick...is doubling up the std bars and using jubilee clamps to hold the 2 together.... it works aswell. and if your a bit handy with CAD or something you can have aluminium blocks made up to mount the 2 bars , a bit les ghetto another option is universal, racing spec anti roll bars and make up the mounts yourself..

possibly because it is a compilation of different shots from the 2 days of practice and thats what mark put on his clip this was the practice before the Open Event held on the Sunday afternoon/Evening

i love it!!

so what about 4x4 tyres.....id like to see them make them quiet

look good buddy

congratulations mate...... good ol BFBS..... how did you get into this event

yup, its a Nissan Cefiro

its a cefiro isnt it?

wow...... wow erm wow, how the hell you going to get all that power through the front wheels...how is the gearbox going to cope? did i say WOW congratulations

OEM or pattern part, looks OEM by the tracking tag

is it french, or italian, if so....its expected

"..............C-Tyres Calls In Administrator Fri, 26 October 2007 C-Tyres, the Langley Moor, Durham-based manufacturer of the Colway brand of car and truck tyre retreads, yesterday called in the Administrator. Gary Oliver, managing director of C-Tyres, told T&A that the company had been served with a forfeiture notice by its landlord at the weekend and had been unable to gain access to the site. With no access to the factory, stock and customer records, the directors of C-Tyres were forced to call in the Administrator. Said Oliver: "Because we couldn't get on to the site, we couldn't even access our employees' contact details to tell them not to come to work." C-Tyres employs around 100 staff. The current management team took over C-Tyres in January 2002, when the company was turning over £3 million annually. "This year we were on course for a £6 million turnover and were making an operating profit" Oliver told T&A. During this time, C-Tyres concentrated its efforts on niche products and actually increased the product range, adding truck retreads. Gary Oliver was on his way to meet the Administrator when T&A spoke to him, but says that the company will continue to trade while in Administration and that it will eventually be sold as a going concern. In addition to the Colway product range, C-Tyres operates a casing collection service and has an on-site waste disposal facility, which Oliver believes makes the company attractive to a prospective buyer looking to reduce its carbon footprint. Things will be clearer after the initial meeting with the Administrator and Gary Oliver said that he would get in touch with C-Tyres's customers as soon as the Administration process is set up............."

whats wrong with the TDI bit, and which prolex bit

no it was never used for anything like that, the point i was making is anyone can get a Garage d decal...the bmw owner thought, it was a BMW tuner

turbos are not really worth that much as they are... you wont be able to use the set up as it is as it will foul the steering column

you keeping the factory turbos..?

96/97 super coupe car it wasn't competitive,as it was an ex LHD road car, converted to track,parts were drying up at Rover motorsport at Oxford... and i was still novice(poop), till end of season, coupled with travelling costs back to uk, and a 6 month stint in bosnia. tried to use the car in ADAC saloon, but couldnt get homologation, car was stripped in 2001/2, and sold to 2 drivers in the UK, lots of the stuff went to an ex member on LOC..who was admin of honda revolutions, they took the engine and wheels, and the shell was sold to a guy in Holland, who, i believe built it back up and uses it in holland........the engine oil cooler was used on the original drift car, and now used on the monster as the power steering cooler was going to get a Coupe, to use, in super coupe cup, with the vento vr6, gti,honda crx, but got the Black lexus.....and realised my dreams of a saloon racer went down the pan, as i was going to be staying in germany , then...i got hooked on trying to build the lexus for something..... was steve's uncle in the GTI cup, or super coupe cup, the gti cup, which used the rover gti amalgamated with the vento cup, rover coupe cup, honda crx and clio cup in 97,basically drawing the sub 2 liter and 2 litre saloon and coupes together in a new seris run by BRSCC and i think is still running today, albeit with a very much reduced grid now as the cars are getting old wow what year 6r4...love em, there was one for sale on piston heads a short while back

but the understeer can be dialled out, if its a track car. biggest issue is its amazing ability to snap from under steer, to massive oversteer.........usually resulting in a trip, of the Road/Track.....cliff
