Mike,
I have 15" Panasports on my Tiger. I run 205 X 50 X 15's on the front and
225 X 45 X 15's on the back. All rims are 7" wide. My valance has been
trimmed. Fronts have no problem. Rears rubbed a little on the springs so I
ground them slightly. Seems to work alright on the open tracks. I got the
rims from Dale A. Call me if you would like. I am in the Lone Tree,
Colorado phone book.

Subject: [Tigers] Thoughts on 7" front wheels
I'm about to buy some new wheels for my Tiger. Because of the lack of
quality off the shelf wheels for our cars, I'm leaning towards 15" diameter
Panasports. While kind of "belly button" wheels, they are very well made
and reasonable cost.
The usual 6" front/7" rear fitment has limited appeal, primarily because of
the handling compromises that result. I'd like to run 7' all around with
equal size tires.
Anyone have direct experience with the 7's and clearances? My valence is
near stock, we did do some basic smoothing, prior to the car going to paint.
How large a tire might fit? (I could see running as small as 195/50-15 at
all four corners).
Thanks for any thoughts!
Mike Wood
