hogmaw Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Classic's rock, tis such a shame they don't even clear UK spec brakes, Pretty sure the LM20's even need a spacer to clear UKs IIRC Nothing in the Volk range? They seem to cater for the wider rear rim, TE37 or CE28n? I have 18" ccw classics and they clear my UK brakes with no spacer. All ccw wheels are custom made. Surely they can make a set to order that will fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Rota make a wheel that is similar to your Advans....it might be worth getting a pair of those to experiment with the banding rather than jumping in and chopping the Advans in two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thought of just getting what you like made? http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ and I'm sure they cater for a lot of sizes and offsets edit : doh!

Wez Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Might also be worth a chat with CW to see what can be done to increase the mechanical grip, you may not have to increase tire width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Jamie I think you should start with a full TRD kit and you can go as wide as you want then buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
