Need some help:
Trying t o decide tirewheel size for a GT clone for track use. What are advantages/disadvantages of 16 versus 16. Would like to go all 8 inch if possible. I know 16 8s will b emore $$ and tires as well whcih could be reason to avoid. Would aslo like to know your experiences with tire currently in dilema as I have 16 7/8 but good tires are 15 (888s) Thanks up front for input. TOT |

i ran 15x8's all the way around...225's good selection at that size. you can use a sapcer up front to get a little more track...overall diameter will effect gearing...other than selection of tires that would be the other consideration...what wheels,,,,,do you already have??
