How do you go on with minimum radius requirements with the spats fitted? They look quite sharp at the outer edge.
The split rim wheels don't look to stick out as far as Skelly's coffin spokes did, a narrower rim maybe? This car doesn't look like it needs anywhere near the full spat, Alan's looked better once they were blended into the arches & painted over.
The mirrors will certainly meet the visibility requirements although I can't see the radii on the bases.
The rear bonnet pins would fail at Nottingham IVA for sure
I can't see what you have around the upper window frame, have you any other shots which would help show other builders the problem areas you have encountered on the builds you have done?
Re: 15" wheels on a Stradale LB?
The spats were rounded, photo does not show that.
Mirrors were correctly radiused, but they look horrible, replaced after test....
Rear bonnet pins fitted by previous owner, removed for test for the same reasons.
Correct CE markings on side windows are hidden when fitted. Examiner was happy with build photos to show, without dismantling.
Beta boot lid lock too sharp, requires radiusing or fit later.
A lot is down to interpretation.

Here's the actual quoted data:
Original car: Track (front) 56.4" (Super Profile book)
Transformer: (front) 56.3" (Transformer Cars HF 2000 colour A5 brochure)
Original car: (rear) 57.4" (Super Profile book)
Transformer: (rear) 57.5" (Transformer Cars HF 2000 colour A5 brochure)

Re: 15" wheels on a Stradale LB?
That'll be 57.4058" for the 1457mm (terra)
and 57.0118 for the 1447mm (fuso)
Re: 15" wheels on a Stradale LB?
1447mm at zero camber = 56.968" or wasn't I listening at school?
The Hawks I have measured come in at 1465mm (57.677") at zero camber which is an 18mm difference on the rear track & is way off topic from Richards original post?
Re: 15" wheels on a Stradale LB?
9mm per wheel then?
Back on topic:
Will 14" wheels fit the LB STR?
If so, Richard could go for either of the two Dino wheels. Cromodora 6.5x14" or Campagnolo ('chairs and flairs') 7.5x14".
Both of which were used on the works rally cars with gravel tyres, as seen on David Hanman's Safari car (when he hasn't got his yellow coffin spokes fitted).
Road tyres could be 205x70xR14, XWX, CN36, Blockley, or something cheaper.

Re: 15" wheels on a Stradale LB?
Six pages and counting!!!!! on the subject of a set of wheels. Richard must be getting very confused by now. The knowledge out there on this subject is incredible.
