yeah i agree mate, i wouldnt use one, unless i absoloutely had to!

when are you down this way next?

ill be down south on friday for work, seaford is as far as i go, round 1-ish

or ill be home round 2 everyday

Rode my bike thru a less-than-favourable suburb this morning. Shoulda seen all the scum staring at my MV Agusta, calculating in their little thieving minds how they could steal my bike.

Ferals :)

yeah, im gonna take the 25s off, and drive it down to wheelworx on saturday now,

ill ask for a test fit on the 15,

i want them to look good, but not rub, i want the best of both worlds :)

From the pics it looked like you could get away with the 25s on the front. 245 is a pretty big tyre for fronts, you could go down to a 225 and give that little bit more clearance. That way you'd have the rim sitting where you want it and more room so it doesn't scrub.

i dont like that much offset on the front, looks like a go cart imo

and i know 245s are quite large, but its what come with the rims, and they are brand new, so

i dont really see much point in changing them,

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
