Agreed, they should be 45 series on the 2+2, not 50 series.
What width are the wheels as well ?

Harry,
Welcome to the group and Quantum ownership.
I don't own a 2+2, but my Saloon required 195/45/15 tyre to avoid rubbing,
so that may be your issue.
Regards,
Steve

Hi there, I’ve recently acquired my first Quantum 2+2 and my first
impressions are, wow! The licence plate is F229 UPB, if by any chance
one of you have owned it! However, after a few Sunday drives a couple
of niggles have appeared.
Firstly and quite worryingly, under harsh acceleration/cornering,
particularly around roundabouts (i can’t resist), the rear arches do
rub against the outside of the rear wheels. It’s running 195/50/R15
tyres, which I don’t believe are the problem, but if any of you do
think they are the problem, please say. Other than that, could I have
some advice on what springs/shocks to replace the current ones with to
avoid the problem?
Secondly, the engine is a 1.4cvh head with a 1.8 bottom end. Well,
this is what the guy i bought it off has told me! The issue here is,
the dipstick is from the 1.4 block so does not even reach the oil with
a fresh 3.5L in. So my question is, will the 1.8 cvh dipstick be fit
for purpose? Or, if any of you could point me in the right direction
to what dipstick would suit/someone in the know, it’d be greatly
appreciated.
FYI, the quantum was registered in 1992 and is based on a 1.4 mk2 of
1989. The now 1.8 engine has been gas flowed with a kent cam and
scorpion exhaust with a TDLM carb. It’s a beautiful black, with some
tidy 15” alloys. 0-60 has been timed at 7.8
Thanks for reading this far, any information will be greatly
appreciated.
