HI all
I own a 09 jcw and really enjoy driving it . Color red with a black hard top goes like a champ. I have been a sports car buff for many years. First car was a 59 TR-3 than a 63 MGB. both came from people who took them apart then sold them to me in cardboard boxes.
I do have 2 questions with regards to tire sizes. I currently have the stock 205 45 17 but am looking into buying some autocross tires and wheels for track use only. I am leaning towards Hoosier A6 and want to know if anyone has installed 225 40 18 with a 40MM offset without any scrubbing in the fender wells? I tried to contact Miniusa.com and ask them what the maximum suspension travel (no load to normal bump stop impact) is so I could find any interference . They refered me to a dealer who said talk to a tire vendor, they didn't know. So
What are the biggest tires and offsets that have been installed?
What is the no load to bumpstop suspension vertical travel distance?
Thank you
Don
