Personally, I'd ditch the tires instead of butchering the car. Probably che=
aper in the long run. There are other tires that will give the ride you des=
ire. You can probably re sell the tires.

Subject: [Healeys] Michelin 180/ R15 XAS tires Fill up the wheel well too m=
uch and rub on late 67 BJ8

Listeners:

I decided to use the larger 180/R XAS because those of you who owned them
indicated they fill up the wheel well and do not rub.  The first 100 miles =
I
did not hear or feel any rubbing until  I took a couple of sharp turns and
heard rubbing on the rear tires.   Because I am replacing the fuel pump, I
had the opportunity to look carefully at the cause of the rubbing.  On the
right rear wheel the rubbing is evident at the edge of the dog leg as you
can see in first picture.  My dog legs have been repaired during the frame
off restoration with a skin panel and the dimensions may not be original.

Last picture the lower part of the panel is 9 1/2 inches to the door frame.
The  one on the other side is 9 1/8 inches long. As you can see the gap wit=
h
the wheel in the second to last picture.  It has a larger gap than the righ=
t
side.   However, that dog leg shows wear also.  As you can see in the secon=
d
picture inside the dog leg skin on the right side attaches to the frame on
an angle.  I am proposing slicing off one inch of skin.  I have a friend wh=
o
is an artist with a cutoff saw, can weld a bead on anything and create a
rolled edge.  What would you say to this fix?

Also, on the inside of the wheel well you can see the nut holding the radiu=
s
arm sticks out from the indentation into the well and shows light rubbing o=
n
the tire.  I am proposing cutting off the excess thread and then giving it =
a
smooth dressing which would not disturb the strength of the bolt and or
cause it to unscrew.  What do you think of this fix?

Of course, a little paint afterwards.

I like the ride of the tires and the feel of the road.  I want to keep them=
.

Regards,

Bob Begani

I checked my BJ7 and the distance you measured is 9 1/2" on my car, so your
fenders are probably in the ballpark.  I don't know if I'd want to be
changing my wheel arch profile for tire fit and if you do, it seems 1 inch
would be way too much.  If you start removing metal from the lower dog leg,
how do you expect to blend it into the rest of the wheel arch without it
looking funny?  I'd also check your rear shocks to see if they are allowing
that much deflection on the rear wheel openings.  I might follow Richard's
advice and look for some different tires rather than doing the body mods.

Happy Healeying,
Rick Neville

I agree. It would be short sighted to perform a permanent modification to c=

You may check the rubber bushes of the rear supension first. If they are 
soft or worn they may allow to much movement of the rear axle.

The bolt can easily be shortened a bit using a Dremel tool. Fitting a 
plastic nut cover can be fitted to protect the tyre.

Bodywork mods may cost more than a set of new tyres.

The panhard bar is there to keep the rear axle centered  when cornering.
Check your panhard bar bushings. I put the Michelin 180 XAS tires on my BT7
last Spring and I drove it all summer with no rubbing. Even entered the All
British Field Meet autocross at PIR in September. Drove the car really hard
and took first place. No rubbing.

measure the centering of the differential/axel and found everything =
within 1/8th of an inch. In addition, we inspected the bushings on the =
radius arm,  which controls the fore and aft motion of the axel (the =
Panhard controls the side to side motion),  and everything else. All are =
solid.   Eventhough the radius arm bolts sticking out into the wheels =
are not rubbing the tires, I will cut of the heads of the bolts and glue =
a plastic/rubber cap over them.  The only rubbing is the edge of the =
dogleg on the right hand side, so I will be careful not to make hard =
left turns until I discuss rolling the edge of the dogleg with a body =
repair expert.  There are a few items that need touching up and paint on =
the body 30 years after the on frame restoration. =20

=20

In addition, I was questioning the tire pressure and asked long stone =
tyres in the U.K. where I bought the tires   there response: In terms of =
pressure, I think you are in the ball park with 30psi, I would have no =
problem with you going up a bit from there but wouldn=E2=80=99t =

Regarding the rubbing, It is an issue we come across from time to time =
as all these cars are virtually hand built and many have had work done =
over the years, I don=E2=80=99t know them well enough but is possible to =
adjust where the axle sits, ie move it slightly to the other side?

=20

I found the right rear tire was actually only 28 psi so I will increase =
the pressure to 32 Psi on all wheels and drive the car for another =

Thanks to everyone for your comments.

I put a set of Vreidestein 185 HR15s on my BN1 and had no trouble with clea=
rance in the rear, but the fronts both rubbed on the upper wheel openings. =
The taller tires were a big help with ground clearance, but I had to go sma=
ller because of the smaller wheel openings on the BN1. I sold those tires t=
o after dinner for his Mk II  Jaguar and bought 175-70R 15s. I should have =
gone with 165-HR 15s instead, but these will do for the time being.

I put a set of Vreidestein 185 HR15s on my BN1 and had no trouble with clea=
rance in the rear, but the fronts both rubbed on the upper wheel openings. =
The taller tires were a big help with ground clearance, but I had to go sma=
ller because of the smaller wheel
 openings on the BN1. I sold those tires to after dinner for his Mk II&nbsp=
; Jaguar and bought 175-70R 15s. I should have gone with 165-HR 15s instead=
, but these will do for the time being.

(pushed send button too fast on last message)

I use 30m psi all around on the 180-15 XAS's on my BN1.  I have no

experienced I guess I should count myself lucky.
