Thanks for that prompt reply. Not too bothered about speedo error more concerned regarding any issues it may cause to ABS or ESP function and of course any advantage/disadvantage to making this change of tyre size. Alternatively with the standard wheel size any other tyre size changes you can recommend...... just seems a bit under tyred. Like to get a bit more rubber on the tarmac but using the standard wheels..... if that is possible. Thanks.

We have the above vehicle in family shod with Kumho Solus 165 60 14 Tyres. When due for a change is there any advantage in changing to 165 65 14 as they are much cheaper to buy. Would the different tyre size cause any issues with the ABS or ESP traction control that is fitted. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that Tony. Its actually a 2008 Diesel version. Whether there are any differences to those you have sent which are older and petrol versions i dont know. I will contact Subaru Uk Tech and get them just for information. But as you say i think i am pretty near the mark. Thanks for your time. Regards Stuart. Ps yes i will get the MX5 down given half an opportunity.

Nice one much appreciated.

It all looks reasonable, albeit unbalanced.... I'll get the correct data tomorrow. Yes typo error for front both minus. I know he struggled with rear camber. Its above my head but as i understood it he said rear camber wasnt strictly adjustable but i think he got some adjustment via some bushes or something. Just been studying the figures and if you think there is some imbalance now there certainly was before adjustment. And thats how it left the factory. Only i drive it and no kerbing etc incidents although i appreciate potholes etc can affect. Thanks a lot anyway. S.

Apologies Tony F****D that up a bit. To Clarify the right front camber is minus ie -0 39" Left Rear Toe 0.1mm Right Rear Toe 0.2mm Stuart.

Yes. I will give you the final settings after adjustment. Left Front. Camber -0 37" Right Front. Camber 0 39" Caster 5 42" Caster 5 44" Toe 0.4mm Toe 0.4mm SAI 13 34 SAI 13 54 Inc. Angle 12 56" Inc. Angle 13 15" Left Rear. Camber -0 14" Right Rear Camber -0 42" Toe 0.2 Toe 0.1mm Hope that makes sense couldnt scan it!!!!! If you want the before measurements i can oblige. Thanks Tony. " I WILL SEE YOU STRAIGHT WHEN I GET MY GLASSES" When i bring the mx5 in i will sort you out for your help. Thanks Regards Stuart.

Thanks for that.If you could whenever no rush. Just as i previously mentioned couldnt get in touch with you so took it to a Subaru independant for tyres and geometry. Pleased with service etc and car feels much better but being a fuss pot i would just like to check the results sheet i got against factory settings. Thanks Stuart.

I guess this is a question for Tony. Do you have the geometry settings for the above vehicle. Also is the rear camber adjustable? I have been told yes and been told no!!!!!1 Thank You.
