Hi all
As the months slowly (so slowly!) pass by until I take delivery of the kit, I've been putting plenty of thought into getting all the donor bits and bobs sorted, so I'm ready to start in earnest when it arrives.
I'm going to be building a lime green Stradale.
I think I'm right in saying that Craig supplies wheels in 16 and 17", but Hawk will still supply 15" wheels. I seem to remember that the white LB over in the States has been fitted with 15" Hawk wheels, so it would appear that caliper clearance etc at the front isn't an issue.
The question is - will 15" wheels comfortably clear at the rear too? What tyre size is the limit front and rear (not sure how wide Gerry's wheels are)?
As it's going to look reasonably 'original' from first impressions, I'm keen on keeping the tyres as 'chunky' looking as the originals, rather than fit larger diameter wheels with lower profile tyres on, which, in my opinion, doesn't look quite the same!
Pic attached is of a genuine car with 15" wheels of an unknown origin shod with Michelin TB15 tyres!
