Re: Help on ticking sound

New followers were not fitted. The ticking noise started so suddenly so im now thinking its not wear. The tappets were also not replaced so it could well be a tappet.

Re: Alloy wheels on my capri.

yeh i am re-thinking about the wheels, i herd a capri with 17 inch wheels will never drive as nice as a capri with 13 inch wheels which is kinda obvious. And you are right about the offset i need to know the offset of the wheels befor i purchase them.

Re: Alloy wheels on my capri.

OK so 7 x 17 should fit fine with spacers. The wheels are wolfrace and i herd spacers are needed but is it true you have to lengthen the wheel studs?

The alloys on the car are 6 inches wide and i was wondering if the front wheels will rub on the front suspension if they were 7 inches wide? The car is standard and has not been lowered but t...
