15 inch Borbet A alloys

Post by JJJackson »

Hi

I am thinking of getting some Borbet A alloys 112x15 ET 35, I think they will go stright on (having looked on the Wiki and Brickyard) with no mods? I am also thinking at a later date of lowering my Westy Cali by 50mm will this sit ok or are the wheels too small to look decent, what are other peoples experiences?

Thanks

I bought an Atlantic this summer which has Borbet 'A's 7.5 x 16 with 50mm springs. It doesn't like sleeping policemen but drives well on the open road. It feels a little low but I haven't bottomed out yet.
I am going to look into getting better suspension at some stage.
