What size Chimaera wheels....?

[longers]

I've found a set of Chimaera wheels for a reasonable price (2x15 inches and 2x16's).

For use on the S is it recommended to
- keep the 15's all round as per the original set up,
- use 16's all round, or
- run the 15's on front and 16's on back as on the Chimaera?


Cheers,

Take your pick,all three ways are currently on various esses

As long as you fit tyres that give the same rolling circumference i.e. don't change your gearing, and the extra 0.5 inch width doesn't cause fouling problems then go for 16"s on the rear.

If you want another pair of 15"s a friend in the TVRCC has a pair surplus.

I have the 15's on the fornt and the 16's on the rear and they are great! Didnt I read on here that on the V6 S there needs to be some adjustment for the 16's to fit on the front?? If you do decide to go 15's all round I may do a swap with you as Im looking to go 16's all round!

It's becoming increasingly difficult to source Z rated tyres in 15".
So I think that all S's may soon have to get 16" wheels (at least the V8s anyway).

I can't see aproblem with fit if, as someone has suggested, you go for 45 profile tyres on the 16" wheels your overall diameter will remain the same. (I guess at the expense of ride comfort - unless the sidewall is more compliant than the 55 profile tyre on the 15" wheel?!//)
