Can EMPI or any other Type 3 people out there tell me what tyres I can fit without clearance issues on a set of Rocket EMPIS on a 65 Notchback with drums all round, and if lowering the car would affect the clearance etc.
I have heard that clearance is a bit of an issue out back and on full lock!
Thanks
Steve
Not sure if this is any good to you, but I've got BRMs on a '65 type 3. 135's at the front, just touch on full lock with 2 people in the car. 165's out back with only a couple of mm clearance. Also, my car is lowered a few inches all around.
I have Empi 5's on mine with
195,50 X15's all round.
67 fastie with drums.....
Tazz.
1962 Type3 Squareback
1967 Type3 Fastback "Kermit"
The truth is important. It will set you free
Anyone else got some EMPIS on their T3?
Hey,
64 squareback, rocket empi replica's
195x50xR15 All drum, lowered
As you said, the rear has minor problems but only just and with a little guard persuasion of the lip will be fine. The front with one person in the car is fine. will scrape a bit with a passenger. Hope this helps.

oh, yeah. Lifted it up a bit now, this pic is waay old.
