Hi Has anybody fitted the Vredestein sprint classic tyres? if so are they any good??

Also, I am getting conflicting opinion as to max width tyre will 205s rub when cornering?

Thanks for any help

You can use Aston Martin DB6 MK 2 Wire Wheels. They are offset by 1" and you can use 205 wide tyres without any rubbing. They look better as they fill out the wheel arch more.
The rear bump stops can be left in place and will only come in contact with the tyre when the car is jacked up for wheel removal. You will need to jack the rear wheels up into the wheel arch when refitting to ensure that wheel is sitting correctly on the hub and not pressing against the bump stop.

Hope that's of some help.

Paul.
