180b Mags - Offsets, sizes and clearance

Post by Bluebird_U »

Hi all, just a question for all the 180b owners out there (there has to be some).

I current have some 15x7 +20p rims, and while I like the size of the rim in relation to the body the thing is all over the road as far as steering goes (tracking). Have had the alignment checked for camber/ castor so I figure the rims are not any good and it must be affecting the geometry of the steering. Previously had 13's and no problems - if anything the tyre was too wide and steering heavy so I though the new ones were just different. Struts are standard.

I have no idea what the b's came with originally so was wondering what peoples experiences were, what size rims have you managed to squeeze between the struts and guards, or if there is an websites/ threads that list sizes?

At present Im looking for some more rims - the more dish the better, and will also look at taking about 30-50mm out of the height as it needs front shock anyway. So if any ones got any ideas, or some spare rims/ springs/ advice I would be happy to hear from you.

Thanks
