Wed, 17 July 2002 14:00 g'day helman what you are talking about is related to bump steer - i think? i had similar troubles with my torana years ago. the result was the wider rims moved the centre point of the tyre contact patch further from the original pivot point. this was compounded by the 3.5" lowering job - i'll live and learn. the end result is - hit a bump at 100kph in a corner and hang on as you change lanes - fast. to fix it, raise it back closer to std height and find some rims with the correct offset, or change your stub axles to suit. tyre width requirements are directly related to vehicle weight - not power. weight creates traction not width of tyre, just my 2c worth, hope it doesnt confuse things further, dave [Report message to a moderator]
