Keep in mind the ofset of your rims and that if you do lower it that you would need to put an ajustable panhard rod in the back of the car.

I heard someone once say you could (possibly, almost) get 225's in with no mods. You'd need the perfect offset though cause I think it'd be cutting it fine.

I got 225 on the rear of mine and its dumped on its arse. Without the adjustable panhard rod i take out chunks of the tyre but with it in i reckon 235s wouldnt be a problem with the ofset on my rims.

be careful if your tyres scrub though, I had a mate with a LC torana and his tyres used to scrub with too many people in the car, it blew out on a round-a-bout and he put it through a shop window...

well obviously your mate wasn't driving sensibly around said round about... 'cause he SHOULD have been able to control it going at a safe speed.. warp 10 i can see he would have problems and decide that a shop window looked good...

moral of the story, be a ass, and you get kicked

hey check it out!! hickoz must have some magical power to see through time or something, cause he has the ability to comment on a situation he knows nothing about, other than some guy lost control of his car.

I run 215s on the back of my 28 with plenty of room to spare. I wouldnt say my is LOWWW, but it's definitely lost about 2" from stock at the back.

I run the stock diff, along with 15 x 7" simmon's F90s, not sure offset, but there is a lot of dish for a simmons. Next tyres will more than likely be a fair sight wider - perhaps 235.

Well, he used to flog the duts out of the poor thing, it had a warm 202 with tripples, broke traction on command at town speeds. But, when he went through the window he said he wasn't pushing it that hard. it was late at night aith no traffic, he would've been moving a bit but wasn't sideways or anything.

Still, it's a lame-ass comment. If your tyres blow round a corner at anything but a crawl you're fucked.
