Don't worry they'll go 60+ mm low. Your axles will give out before the flex a's! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what difference does that make seeing them travel further into the arches than I would have imagined? Also, turns out he had them of the softest setting. (not always the case) but generally tyres with less sidewall will give better performance over the same tyre but a higher sidewall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for some reason I didn't finish my ramblings before posting (being distracted) you asked about what affect the balloon tyres had, while including the above, balloon tyres will offer a bit more suspension to a certain extent. Just look at F1 and their Balloon tyres which do a lot of the softer side of the suspension Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 At no point did I ask about the affects of balloon tyres to performance, I was questioning Lauren's comment on Will having Balloon tyres, he's running 245/40 (on a 9J wheel), the side walls will only be slightly bigger than 215/45 that we run......I then went on to asking how having balloon tyres equates to the increased suspension travel at lower speeds i.e. the wheels getting tucked into the wheel arch. 1 Deacon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deacon 1357 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 I'm very confused on the whole balloon tyres comments - will's tyres are not in any way balloon tyres??? 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 6kg is relatively soft so you will still get quite abit of roll. Wills car looked lowered quite a bit so the wheels will tuck right up under the arches. Also as you lower the car past about 20mm the car actually rolls more due to the dropped roll centre. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was referring to his wheels going up in the arches, I'll probably have them quite stiff though. Won't be going too low, exhaust sits lower down than most...
