    That'll be 57.4058" for the 1457mm (terra)
    and 57.0118 for the 1447mm (fuso)

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Well, you know how the saying goes - ask a stupid question...

    Thanks again for all the replies. It's got to be Coffin Spokes on the car, really - anything other than that or some original Stradale wheels, which is a bit more unlikely, but you never know....!
