Standard wheels and 60mm drop?

Post by booster24 »

Is it reasonable to lower by 60mm ( the just campers kit) and with new shocks and keep the standard wheels and not have any problems on a camper?

Cheers

Yes. I did it for about 2 days - then put alloys on...

Cheers Ringo, I guess that there were'nt any problems but you just prefered the alloys. Thats cool. I am using bueaty rings and dome chrome caps to keep the classic look, hence the standard wheels.

A lad on here (Richnewton) has this setup but found the drivers side front wheel would rub on the underside of the arch when going over bumps, it all depends how heavy your van/you are really.

I did it for a year or so (-60mm JK kit also) pre transforming Elly had no problems, then i fitted smaller tyres for some stoopid reason, looked ok n drove fine!
