Hi All,

Is anyone running a clubman with 10x7 exactons (or similar) and found a way to avoid the need to cut their front wings?  

 

Thanks,

Desmoben1

You need to cut your wings a fair bit!

The other problem with 7" wheels is that you need to run racing tyres and they are not road legal.

The widest road tyre you can get for a 10" wheel is a 165 section and the maximum wheel width for those is 6" wide. In fact Yokohama recommend a maximum wheel width of 5.5" for their 165/70 x 10 tyres.
