Can Yellows be bought preglued to B4 rims, front and rear?

Question has been asked in the North East forum by Newbie and I'm afraid I don't know the answer :blush:

They do, and they come on Schumacher rims which are the same fitment as a B4. Looks like they do Pin, Spike and Stagger :thumbsup:

Haven't the rears got a different offset?

so if they have different offsets, when on the car will it meet the BRCA widthe regs for Nationals & Regionals?

If you buy front preglued mini pin tires, notice that the rims are more slim that the original B4 rims.
I don't know about the offset...

Yeah it should still fit OK, but it could have a different geometry if the offset is not the same as designed for the car.

I'm guessing that they wil be the same offset because the Cat comes with an adapter for the front so you can fit Jconcepts wheels, so if Schumacher intended people to use those all round with no problems then there own wheels will be the same offset.

If that makes sense :lol:.

It's normally the rears which are different.

Yea, but what I mean is if they intend you to use different fronts then they expect you'll be using different rears too (say a complete set from a b44) so if they'd be a different offset the car wouldn't work the same, and there would be no point making the car accept them as whats the point of using different fronts but still having to use Schumacher rears. So Scumacher will have just coppied the offset the other companies use.

If you know what I mean :lol:

I know someone with JC, AE and Schumacher wheels so I'll measure the offset and see if my theory holds :thumbsup:

No doubt, and if the are different, i doubt it's by very much. Ive just heard they might be in the past, be good to know either way. :woot:

my fellow racers wont touch Schumacher rear rims any more, they crack way to easily.. we will use the fronts if what a clean slim tire look but no more rears. Most use Jconcepts front and rear, much stronger rim
