Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 29, 2008 Support Team Share Posted July 29, 2008 Are these wings (as now sold by RiF) wide enough to cover a 215 section tyre? I was originally thinking of changing to the CSR wings but they are very expensive and require a modified wing stay to fit an S3 car. The DITP style ones should fit on the normal wingstay and are half the price. Yellow SL #32 - member of Drowned Rat Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I believe they are Shaun. The ones supplied to me 3 years ago (with the surface imperfections you will recall ) were certainly wide enough for a tyre of that profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yes Shaun. I'm pretty sure Kevins car has DITP wings and we put my fronts on his car at Oulton last week. 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 If they are DITP then they will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin b Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi Shaun I have K9 wings on my car and just tried a 215 Kumho under the other day, it does fit but is quite tight , my wingstays are very low though. Take a peek in RIFs website here, my car is on the first page to see how low with a 6x13 8 spoke and 185 048s. If yours are anywhere near that tight you will struggle with standard offsets. Good luck Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 30, 2008 Author Support Team Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks Martin. I have race stays on mine which put the wings pretty close to the tyre. With standard Caterham wings, fitting wheels with 185/60s is a bit of a fiddle. Please could you measure the width of the wings for me - at the widest part. Cheers.

martin b Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Shaun Sorry for delay Wings are max 240mm wide external measurement The stays are about 15mm wide + tyres at 215 doesnt leave much room. If you want any photos i'll pop out to the garage, just blatmail me your email address. Still hoping to do Curborough so you could look then What rim were you thinking of using 🤔 do you know offset 🤔 Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 4, 2008 Author Support Team Share Posted August 4, 2008 Cheers Martin. I'll be at Curborough so can take a peek then. Looked at Rob Margel's wings this weekend which are DITP items and it looks like 215s will just about fit.
