Tyres or something?
« on: 05 September 2010, 11:27:35 »
Morning all,
there isnt much clearance between my front tyres(225/55/1600), (cdx z22xe)
and the bottom of the spring holder, cant get my finger between them! Is this the design or is there somethin
wrong, i.e suspension, tyre size? there is no noises, bumps or grinds.
cheers for reading this
regards
Doogie

Hi Tapper,
Ive had the car for two months or so, no spring changes in
paperwork I have...
Ive just discovered the spare wheel tyre is 195/65 15,
is that the tyres that should be fitted in this car, if so, why
would someone change them?

They do run close to the bottom of the spring cup. Fingers won't fit. Sounds normal to me....
