2.5-3 fingers between front tyre and wheelarch works for me.

I agree with drmini and use 2 1/2 "fat fingers" between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch. This has worked for all North American driving...but I would go to at least 3 "fat fingers" for driving on Australia's highways, especially in NSW. Best hwy. was the Stuart in the NT. 27,000 kms. in the Clubman Window Van was hard on the front suspension during all of the driving related to the One Lap adventure. might have been a bit different with new rubber springs up front...but we used better used cones. But adj. trumpets and Koni Sport dampers helped. As a note: stopped Christmas Eve in Mission to say hello to ice racer Nolan Kitchener. He had a customer's roundnose Van on the hoist. Fake rubber doughnuts (with Dunlop moulded in) were flat as pancakes. |
