My 2 cents.
I have to run 14x6 rims in SCCA ITB with the Alfa, (Sorry guys!) I run the
Hoosier R3S04's. I've tried 205-55-14 and 225 50-14. Both sizes are a real
bitch to get on the 6" rim due to sidewall stiffness. My times are at least 1
second a lap faster with the 225-50-14. This 1 second a lap was on the long
course at Pocono. Lime Rock I gained about .5 seconds. The Hoosier sales rep
said the same to me that Goodyear said to Mr. Kastner. But I don't think the
time clock lies! If body clearance is a problem a possible solution is a wheel
with a slightly different offset.
TR3A Quick update:
Gussets have been welded to the frame, New floor boards are in. Just finishing
up the other minor inner body repairs. Next step: Sandblasting and Roll cage
design. Any ideas?
