ThankYou for I formation. So based on your testing would 15" 7 wide 35 offset fit ok?
I will forward our u formation over once I'm clean as I'm removing the engine as we speak.

It originally came with the factory recommended 14 inch wheels with the factory recommended sizes, it was the factory demo/brochure car so was still fitted with the wheels from the brochure photos. We tried wheel sizes from 13 to 16 inch. For comfort 13 inch were by far the best for comfort but the wheels looked too small and the handling was the worst of all tested. The stock size it came with was 14 inch, it was fitted with the ford lattice xr3i cabro style wheels. They looked ok and it drove better than with the 13’s. For us for road use 15’s fitted with 195 45 15 tyres is the best compromise of looks, easy to get tyres and good road manners. When we tried 16’s they were very very harsh and on a track superb but for road use a step too far. When I bought my saloon it was fitted with 15 wheels, ford style again which I didn’t like as too modern, so bought a new set of wheels for it. The wheels bought were 15 inch using the same logic that applied to the 2+2. Fitted with 195 45 15 there has never been any tyre rubbing even with 4 people and the dogs in the car. In my experience the brand of tyre can effect the way the 2+2/saloon drives almost as much as wheel size. When I bought my saloon it had 15s with 195b 45 unbranded tyres and the ride was quite harsh yet when fitted with the new wheels which are the same size apart from 2mm less offset fitted with toyo tyres and the ride is much better. I am the historian for the QOC & If you don’t mind would you mind forwarding the registration and chassis number of your saloon to quantumhistor...@gmail.com<mailto:quantumhistor...@gmail.com> as I have recently updated the quantum owners club register for the model and would like to check to see if we have your car on the register list.

So hello everyone. It's turned into a whole lot of work I was not expecting sadly and I'm already a week in and the engines out tomorrow so not any closer to prepping for paint :( Onwards and upwards :) One of the simpler issues is the wheels. She is currently fitted with 14s 6 wide Et20. 185 60 front and 195 rear I believe. They look lovely but do catch the rear arch around 4/5 and 7/8 o clock positions. My question is...Is this simply down the the rears been 195 or is it because the offset of these wheels is incorrect as they do come out the arch. I have the opportunity to buy a set of wheels that are 15" 7 wide and et35 so ford offset I believe. Is there a universe where these wheels would fit without rubbing with 195 45 15s? If so I would sell ours and get them instead. Thanks Mick and Giuliana -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
