Hi all, here are my new rims, they are 15x5 inch wide +35 offset with 165/45/15 tires
had to get some wheel nuts for her damn 10mm studs! but all good and no scrubbing at all (guards were previously rolled a little)

How do you find it driving around on them? Comfortable enough or a really harsh ride now? I still don't have tyres for mine, i've had to throw more money than i was planning on at my F8b rebuild.

That's good to know. My EB is fairly harsh in regards to the stiff springs, shocks & low profile rubber on it, so i probably won't mind the ride of mine.JohnnyB wrote:I cant tell the difference in the ride from my 13's but the suspension has always been harsh in it.
I'm hoping i can afford some tyres soon, but i still have to get my cyl head rebuilt.

I noticed a big difference going from 13" to 15", and the damage to my strut tops suggests the extra wheel weight and less sidewall have increased the harshness.

haha! Yeah I guess my suspension was already harsh, including damaged strut tops. My suspension was firm to begin with so th change was not very noticable in the Cervo. But as you stated Brayden as there is less side wall adn heaver rims there is a difference.

Out of interest, are your strut tops 2 or 3 bolt? I have a spare set of two bolt ones from a Swift that might fit.

I'm replacing my struts soon, can you get new tops for the mighty boy? I was going to use the SA swift (i think that's what i need to use) struts.

SA swift strut tops are no good because they are a two bolt, whereas the MB has three. You can buy new strut tops, the price is about $90 each.
