Subject: Re: Wheels and tyres for the Rapide
David,
Many thanks for your prompt reply:
The wheels are 5.5J x 15" with 72 spokes.
fitment: 42 mm rim inset: 22.00 mm
The hub splines are identical as is the hub diameter. Same wheels also for the DB6.
I have checked with Avon and these tyres will fit a rim width from 5.5 - 6 inches, so appears to be no problems there to fit either standard Rapide wheels or wire wheels.
My old tyres removed from my Rapide, were also same Avon turbospeed size.
Will the slightly narrower rims cause any problems ?
Many thanks.
