Royboy66 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I wouldnt go wider than the 185's! not a lot of choice for the mk1! revs look ok on the darker cars.wide steels look good!, but finding em ?? :-/why you want to try that wide a tyre? after your fun sorting the rubbing on the blue one?? ya nutter!! :)Roy ( with "hated"minilights :X)

Alex Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 No probs :)Personally I think the revs are a great wheel,I once had some fitted on a mini.I missed my wheels more than my car when I sold it :'(What colour is your car?Alex
qunvat Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 hi again!...sold the other (blue) one with amazing wires....looked FAB but long story.this one is red....wanted to marry the performance + looks rather than JUST thinking about the looks....si
Alex Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Have you seen the wheels on Hutchs car? They'd look great on yours....but I cant remember what they're called :-/Alex
mikeyb Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 just aquired a set of those for the Mk2 PI - from memory they are Japanese - 100 Plus?I'll have a look next time I am in the garage!
Ben Hutchings Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Yea mine are 100+ 'Interstate' wheels. Heres some info on wheels that might fit in general: http://www.sportssix.info/wheels.php

GT6boy Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 205!? surely you'll have a job keeping traction in the wet at the back with that: given these cars are well known for their propensity to loose the back under under power through corners(been there done that :X). You'd also have to ensure the entire set-up(front A/R bar, new dampers/springs/bushes all round etc) would have to be very carefully selected and put together? :-/
CharlieB Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 You don't want wider tyres at the back, all the weight is at the front!Think what cars have wider rear tyres: mid & rear engined sports & racing cars (more weight at the back) & drag racers that don't go round corners!
AndreGT6 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 After a recent high speed drive home on the highway I was very happy with my setup.I did have to worry about huge Triumph swallowing puddles, but I never had any control or traction issues and trust me, I was move it :)195/50-15 tires.A.
