What springs were people using as it sounds very good if it's standard. A problem with some cars these days is you buy the kit and then have to discard the kit springs and buy the optional springs etc.

How wide are the front tires? They look wider than standard. Can the schumacher tires fit on jconcept rims?

Aren't Schumacher doing slim wheels, they were listed in the parts section a few weeks back but then disappeared. They were also listing pre glue slim tyres, again no longer listed.

[bigred5765]

im pretty sure they just mean slim 2wd front tyres, the std rims are same as b4 rims, just remove the inside edge for stagger ribs,

[mikeyscott]

I hope they release a slim wheel

[bigred5765]

no point just trim a std one, it will only ever get used for stagger ribs

[mikeyscott]

Will look at it later as I have a load of JC front & rear wheels

There is already a Schumacher 2wd front rim out, a Revlite one in the same design as the 4wd. I have ran them all winter.

yip thats exactly what we do mate, but only for staggers as slim 2wd tyre fit perfectly on the std front rims, as si said schuy do there own they are the same width as b4 front rims,no need to cut them down to use slim 2wd tyres,chris dont no anyone else doing that mate ???

[DCM]

was never happy with slim mini's on narrow rims, always felt better on the wider rims.

Does the kit come with wheels and tyres?

Wheels - yes, tyres - no ....

[bigred5765]

ours came with rims no tyres, but not sure what will be in kit for the public mate sorry, and i agree with you slim tyres on std b4 or revlite front rims are so much better/safer then on slim cut rims, just some how staggers dont seem to work for us on full width front rims
