Why Correct Fitment Matters
Correct tyre and wheel fitment ensures:
-
Maximum traction for high-output V8 performance

Stability at high speed and under braking

Proper hub fitment via correct centre bore

Even tyre wear and optimal handling balance
Incorrect fitment can lead to traction loss, instability, and reduced performance potential.
