Unfortuately it isn't that simple on an Elite with self-levelling suspension though...

Just a word of warning to Elite owners.

You'd be stretching it with 21" wheels; I don't know what rubber would fit, but it would be damn harsh.

You'd need 235x30 x20 tyres for 20" wheels. That'd be pretty harsh in itself as the comfort value drops to "0" on the scale!

I've heard of people slamming it on 20's & even 22's! The omega has massive arches and even the biggest wheels don't seem to fill em!

I've been expecting this markey, but have you been anticipating the osteopathy bills!  ;D

Nice one mate  :y
