What profile on the 165s? I don't mean to be a smartarse but my 165x45s would go much lower than the standard 80 profile.

Not very low. Go to some 145/65 15s, then you can almost lay pan before you scrub on anything.

Except you have a 3.5 inch beam. With a standard width beam you will tear your gaurds off if you try to go that low on 165s.rupewrecht wrote:As low as mine...but i've got drop spindles as well. i think it's about 11cm off the ground
