RE: bonnet support and wheels

I think us SOBs have been telling you younger folk this for a long time i.e. 5.5-6.5x14 or 15 is for go; anything bigger is just for show.   regards Terry (it's so quite tonight) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FJ510 Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 10:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: bonnet support and wheels i'd have to agree that too big and too wide does ruin the feel of the datto's handling a bit i only have 16 x 7 because they were on the car and would be more than happy to fit some 14 or 15's on to the car with some decent tyres and get some sort of traction and handling back   ----- Original Message ----- From: mick ralph To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 7:45 PM Subject: Re: bonnet support and wheels Chris I'm not sure what exactly u are trying to do but if u want a superior quality silicone, go to a boat shop and ask for a tube of 'sika'. As for the wheels I'm interested to know why u are looking at such wide rims? What sort of use do u give the car? I actually think its very easy to "over tyre" a datto. I've always felt that 205's are getting too big for nippy handling. I'm running 195/60x15's on 7" rims front and 7.5" rears. Remember that legally u can only increase the track by 25mm from centre tread to centre tread. I'd be interested in what others think about ideal rim/tyre sizes cheers mick ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris King To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 2:55 PM Subject: Re: bonnet support and wheels Mick,   Is there something i can get from the hardware store or auto1 that would be almost as good or is it worthwhile finding the sikaflex?   Thanks again Chris King CMY-510 --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
