Baby needs new shoes before next year's driving season is over - there is
still about 1/8 to 3/16 tread depth left but I don't like to run a tire to
much less than 1/8th inch depth. Currently the car has stock Spitfire
wheels with a 175/70R13 tire. I am considering going to a 14 inch wheel.
Anyone out there run 4 inch wheels on either a Spit or GT6? What tire size
did you get away with? If they were aftermarket wheels, do you remember the
backspace & offset? I am considering Superlight wheels (similar to
Pannasport), see URL.
http://www.packracingproducts.com/acatalog/Spitfire.html If I go with a
larger wheel, I am thinking that there might be an opportunity to move the
caliper and go with a larger rotor. Anyone been down this route with a
Spit or GT6?
What else might look period correct?
71 GT6, Spit body, 2.5L warmed over, Weber 40DCOEs, Mazda 626/RX7 diff
(similar to GRM's Ro-Spit diff)
