Sv2 wheel diameter?

[Chris Elworthy]

I'm puzzled by the wheel diameters of the sv2. I've mounted some low profile yellow staggers and cut staggers to slim front wheels and they just do not look right. The tyre wall seems massive and the tyre does not sit snugly against the rim, it's as if the tyres are too big for the rims. I compared the front wheel diameter to the wheels on my TLR 22 where the tyres fit tightly around the rim and the Schumacher ones are quite a bit smaller.

I drove the car yesterday in high grip and found the car really inconsistent in the turn with the tyres rolling around on the rim.

Are these the wheels the team use? Just doesn't seem right to me.

slim wheels are 2.1" as they are designed to the "old" diameter to fit stagger rib.

The other wheels are 2.2"

Thanks Cruise but I have staggers and cut staggers fitted and they do not fit tightly around the 2,1" wheels. Do schumacher make 2.2" wheels also?

The medium front wheels are 2.2". U4103 for White Flexlite, U3756 for White Revlite, U3765 for Yellow Revlite.

Thanks for that Andy,

Would you suggest I mount my yellow staggers and cut staggers to the 2.2 medium wheels full width or to the inner rib and cut off the rest for med to high grip astro?

I would try them on cut down 2.2 wheels. I know a couple of people have used the narrow 2.1 wheel and put a slim insert in the tyre to stop the tyre rolling around.
