Hello,

I have been lurking for the last couple of weeks being new to the list but
since the topic of tires for autocross has come up I would like to ask for
some opinions on using wire wheels for autocross.

I have been autocrossing a 93 240sx for the last two years on race tires.  I
would like to try my 64 MGB in a few events this year.  It has wire wheels
and I am concerned about over-loading them with the forces generated if I
put race tires on them.  Any information or opinions on this ?

As a follow up question, do I need a new rear axle housing to switch to disc
wheels?  I know that there are different tube type axles for wires and discs
but I am not sure about the earlier banjo type axle that I have on my car.
Any information on this would be appreciated.
