There won't be any change in a CAD drawing of the suspension's arcs, but the plus two wheels/tires WILL change the real-world geometry. Better grip between tire patch and road will compress the suspe

I still don't understand myself... For a start 15" look silly on classic cars - it seems to be all the rage to put them on muscle cars too... no no nooooooooo... muscle cars have big fat huge pieces

Doc is quite right. In suspensions designed to use modern low profile tires and larger diameter wheels, part of the benefit is that you can put the suspension pivot points further apart. By the same

Like TR6's and Austin Healey 3000's? The wheel has to look right I agree, but there a lot of after market 13 wheels made for the GT6 and Spitfire that I think look ugly as well. Classic Panasport and

The effects of rim diameter changes are trivial. It's changes in rim width and offset that are substantial and do cause changes in the suspension geometry. A change in offset changes where the kingpi

I am considering putting 15" superlite wheels with 195/50 tires on my 74 spit. Any one else tried this? Comments? MWK

I just asked this one of my local tire dealer... on my daily driver (92 Caravan) I ended up upgrading from a 175 R 15 70 to a 165 R 15 60 nice slight change .. lower profile same diameter but more ru

Get yourself a plasma cutter or a torch. Your going to have major clearance problems with the body as well as tire rub on the frame. The geometry of the whole car is going to change. My question is,
