Tire side wall q's
Hello,
Have currently a set of NOS KPZ 5.5 ET 27 wheels. Made me a mock-up of the front bottom bag support for my T3. Made me 5 mock-ups in aluminium and achieved a max of 1.5 cm (+/- 1/2 inch) space between the bag at max inflation and the edge of the rim at full lock. I am wondering if 165 tires will stretch enough so that I don't have an extruding side wall ? Opinions please ! Van der Jeught Bert BELGIUM

yeah 165's will be OK... thats a better size than the 135's that the callook boys stretch over their 5.5's!!

Bert,
I was having the same problem with my front setup! I was planning on running 145s later to get more clearance. Can you show me what you've done for your front setup? |

Very soon
Hello,
Philippe, I will post photos soon and update my website. The bottom bracket is bolt-on. NO mods required ! Thursday I can collect them at the lasercutcompany. They will be completely finished then (made me 5 mock-ups !). Wednesday I will finish the beam bars. This weekend I am drawing the top bracket which will be totally bolt-on too. I designed the brackets for regular 165 tires. Drive height will be lower than stock. Everything will clear a 5.5 inch wide wheel. Very close gaps though ! Still waiting for the bags and shocks. I guess they will arrive soon. Keep you updated (lended out my digital cam). Regards, Van der Jeught Bert, BELGIUM

Hello,
Philippe: Here is a sneak previeuw of the bottom bracket. Still have to weld up the fold lines. Top bracket is almost drawn but am still waiting for some parts. The beam bars need a little bit of finishing. The torsion bars are very though to mill. Website will be updated soon. Layout will be better too. Van der Jeught Bert, BELGIUM
