I.Mupferit Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Just thinking of my next upgrade (well actually, the one after next ) and was wondering what wheel and tyre combination is fitted to the CSR 260 as standard. Any ideas please? Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Brent The offsets on the wheels fitted to the CSR are different meaning the wheels do not fit on either the series 3 or the SV. Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Oh 🙆🏻 ☹️ Ok then, how about the same info on the new R400 maybe? I feel that I need more rubber on the back, especially with the planned upgrade that I've been talked into.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 9, 2007 Support Team Share Posted May 9, 2007 Standard R400 fitment is 195/45R15, optional are 205/45R13 rears. CSR is 255/40R15 on 9" wide rims. I guess you could buy some other wheels (Compomotive CXRs for example) in 9" with the correct offset and fit the CSR tyres. Alternatively you could try the 215/50R13 Kumho on an 8" wide wheel (class 3 and 5 sprint competitors are using this tye now). They do a 235 section one which will also fit on an 8" rim.

I.Mupferit Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks Shaun, I presume the 235 Kumho tyres would fill the wheel arch quite nicely on a 13" rim as the SV looks a bit odd on 13" wheels normally. Just IMO of course. Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL FLY Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Brent, I've just fitted 205/60-13 Yoko 21s on the rear of mine, with the rake set almost correctly and with decent clearance under the sump I can just about get my fist between the tyre and the edge of the wheel arch. If I come to the pub tonight in the seven you can have a look See willfly.net for more info.

MikeE Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Brent, I suspect Peter has been talking to both of us about the ???bhp upgrade, sounds very tempting once I've sold my current engine And yes I think it will require wider rears 😬 I presume you have 8 inch rears with CR500s? If not I have a spare set of (R400 spec)13" wheels and CR500s if you want to try them for size.

I.Mupferit Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I could be up for trying those out please Mike. I don't have the wide rubber on the back since I currently have 14" wheels but I will definitely need more road contact in the next year shall we say. I haven't spoken to Pete for a while so I didn't know he is now offering an upgrade. Nevertheless, I have now decided on a recipient of a portion of my hard earned some time in the coming months. 😬 Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 When did I say that? Anyhow, as I keep telling anybody who asks...........it's not my fault, I was being badgered and being ultimately weak willed, I caved in ok! 😬 Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Brent, Before you part with your hard earned you might want to consider another option for a significant bhp increase at a relatively affordable price. If you're interested then I can give you the details but not on blatchat.... R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks all the same Mike but I'm happy with my choice. Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
