Show me your backside

Anybody with a Hawk Stradale using 225 rear tyres got a pic of the rear view to see how far out the mudflaps need to go?

Is that the line you use with your 'customers' when they come to visit? :D

May explain why my face hurts!

Ccan you remember what size these were John?

Presume that was a queue at Abingdon, so they would be a set to road Toyo's, size 225/50x15.

These are mounted to Compomotive MO style single-piece wheels. I think that this set are on 8-inch wide rims, which I recall as having ET0 zero offset. I do use a wheel spacer though, which is probably around 8 or 10mm width.

It is possible that these are mounted onto 7-inch rims though. If so, I think they have about half-inch 'less' offset (still get confused within +/- inset/offset). But I think that set of wheels have got my wet racing tyres on, not the road tyres.

That help?

Thanks John, sounds like it should be the same as my setup. I've also found some pics of Safari Stradale cars, so I have my answers!

Having looked a few pictures of the back of replicas, I notice that those with the droopiest louvres are those who haven't fitted the two supports from the rear deck to the lowest louvre.
