#1: 16" Nimrod's. Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:50 pm ---- So I brought a set of Nimrod's from a member today and planned to get them refurbed before I put them on the car but I'm selling my Sirocco's so had to put them on today. My problem is they are rubbing on full lock which I didn't think they would do as the car hasn't been lowered, Would I need spacer's to sort this out or is their something I am missing.

Still, mine rub on full lock and I just ignore it. I use full lock about 4 times a week

Car is in car park will go and have a look at tyre size.
#6: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:14 pm ---- They are 205/55 R16, I think that,s my problem the wall is 55, But they did come off a 406. Shame as well cause they are brand new tyre's, First time they touched the road was me driving to work.
#7: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:16 pm ---- 45s will be perfect, wouldn't have thought 55 would rub too much if the car is standard height to be honest though.
#8: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:17 pm ---- Yeah they should be 195/45/16 or 205/45/16

#9: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:18 pm ---- What's the off set on the 406 I am sure it's not the same as the 206...
#10: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:20 pm ---- 13 to 23 according to google.
#11: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:20 pm ---- Forgot about the offset, pretty sure it's different not by much though.
#12: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:25 pm ---- You need 195's on them I have 205's on mine and they used to rub. But don't now.
#13: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:27 pm ---- Im running 16" nimmies with 195/45/16 tyres and I still get rubbing on full lock, but I just avoid doing so where possible. Its more of a minor gripe than an inconvenience or issue.
#14: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:29 pm ---- Fancy swapping tyre's before you sell your's Matt.
#15: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:31 pm ---- Might be able to sell em if a guy I'm talking too off 406oc has the wheels.
#16: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:32 pm ---- Most certainly your problem is the tyre also will put your speedo out.get some 45 profile tyres on their and you will be fine. Offset on 406 is around 18 iirc but all this will do is make then sit out a little more IMO look better...
#17: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:33 pm ---- They are brand new and as long as I got enough money to replace them.
#18: Re: 16" Nimrod's. Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:33 pm ---- 406 offset is lower than the 206 offset
