Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted January 27, 2007 Leadership Team Share Posted January 27, 2007 As per the title, what weight loss per corner would I get if I swapped from 13" Minator om 185/60R13 Yoko 48s t0 13 Caterham 8 spoke wheels on CR500s? Also, are CR 500s only available from Caterham, or is there anywhere more in the Berkshire area that supplies/fits them? Thanks - Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are you going for the 175/55/R13's all round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 A well qualified guess would be 4-5 kgs per corner, with the major part saved on the tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted January 27, 2007 Author Leadership Team Share Posted January 27, 2007 Probably, yes - where would I find a calculator to work out the change in diameter and ride height? Thanks - Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The 175/55 are about 30 mm less than the 185/60's Hence you'll drop the car 15mm ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html Only Caterham ( and DT) will supply the 8 spokes Michael. They are made by KN wheels, under license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Bee Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 For CR500 go BMTR in Brum. R600 VX here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Michael are you going for 6" alround? only ask as I may have a set of 6" front and 8" rears available Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mark if you're interested in selling the 6" fronts separately please let me know. Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted January 29, 2007 Author Leadership Team Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks mark - probably 6" all round - the car's a 155bhp Xflow and I don't think that I'd benefit from the wider rims at the rear? Thanks - Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Michael, sorry to go off topic for a moment but are you going to drop that pipe primary at my house for welding up sometime?
