165-10" Blockleys on a 4.5" rim

[abs]

Hi all
Does anyone have a front facing picture of 165 Blockleys on a 4.5" rim, preferably an S wheel please ?

I like the look of 145`s on a 4.5" rim but I`m after a little more grip to make up for my lack of talent so the next question is am I going to notice a significant improvement over the 145`s or are they going to roll around a bit on the rim and be less responsive ?

Here you go. Not the best picture as I had to compress it loads and the tyre was down a bit;

Thanks for that, it looks more than an extra 20mm of rubber on the ground as it sits quite flat across the top of the tyre.

Remember this Abs..... That the best tyre/wheel configuration is when the tyre sidewalls are at their most upright - as in 145's on your 4.5 rims.

Thanks Peter, I was contemplating going to 165 for the next tyre change to give the rear end more grip but I may just try a tiny bit of negative camber as it`s at zero at the moment.

I have used the 165 when was still a prototype. Used 145 as well, I would recommend 145s with F32 R30 pressures

Great stuff, I`ll give that a go, thanks

Interesting info on pressures … might try that Sunday on the way to Breakfast Club
