280SL
Evening all,

A good friend has recommended I post my question here. I currently own a 280SL 83. I am currently replacing, painting and upgrading the suspension all round. I'm planning to lower the car 40mm with springs and 13mm rubber spacers (at the front). The wheels will be 17s penta replicas. 8'' front and 9'' rear. The offsets work perfectly.

My query is tyre size. Im struggling to get my head around what width and thickness would work the best, hence giving the best stance. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated before I purchase new rubber.

Thanks
