.That's with 13's,same as caterhams run.

Caterhams run anything from 16" to 13" although the tyre profile make a lot of difference to diameter.

70 profile A021s on 13s fit the arches OK. 15" Prisoners look good. On the edge of legality sticky Avon stuff on 13s look a bit small. But they weight nothing. Which is kinda the point

I know what your saying but in the side on picture of the Caterham the rear wheel looks too far forward in the arch.Maybe a bad picture but the mnr which can also run anywhere between 13 and 16's looks alot better.A tenuous comparison maybe,but considering how much you pay for one of these things you would have thought no matter what size wheel they're running,it would look right.

The wheels are pretty central in the arch. Not something that bothers me that much, the chassis was designed several decades ago, and I doubt the designer was all that fussed about it either
