Steve,

I had hoped someone would reply to your request ..

I have 16 inch OZ on the back of my car..and can take one off to measure it.

Where do you want the measurement at inner Rim / narrowest part .. which I presume will be near the spokes.

I've got 303mm disc's with AP Racing 4 Pot calipers (same as Cerb. & T-Cars) and they fit under the 16" wheels

Not sure you get anything bigger to fit.

I'm going to give Image a ring Alan so i should be ok,i'm buying the wheels off them so it would be sensible to check with them.
Hows the SEAC coming along?

Been getting the heads ready to put the 48mm throttle bodies back on.

Need to redo the tappets .. I set them to 10thou but just found out they should be 6 thou.

I have already run in the cam and it now starts easily.

Working towards it..

Need to resolve the engine issues first and get an initial engine map done, then get the electric PS pump mounted somewhere and plumbed in.

I would recommend extreme caution.
