Which wheels for Tas?

[Hexhamhc]

Hi everyone, we are prepping a Tas for this season and it's currently on the 15" MO alloy with Kumho tyres. What is the best combination to go to with Dunlop slicks? Do we stick with 15" or go to 16/17"?
Many thanks and good luck with the car prep! Tony

Well I think it would be best to see what tyres you can get. also what wheel you can fit over the front breaks.
I know most 15" will not fit over the 300mm with 4Pot AP's
The 15" compomotive ones do.

Also I have found the rear is very narrow. I have 16 compomotive ones on the back.

But I plan on running 16" 9J Ex Tuscan OZ wheels. but will need to widen the rear a little for it to fit. so will start the season with the compomotive ones I got with the car.

17" Tyres seem to be the easiest to get second hand. but would have to run very low profile tyres for them to fit.

A lot depends on budget and how close to the edge you want to push the car.

Tim is probably the man to ask... (toymota33)

and he was looking for 225x50x15 the other day..


we never ran our taz on slicks, but when it comes out again it'll probably be on 15's as i've got so many of the things !!!!

We ran 235/605 R16 Dunlop Slix on 16'' 9J Compo MO wheels. We had a fair amount of camber on the rears but still needed to trim the inner arches away, and on the front too. 15'' MO probably the easiest solution.

Hi Tony, hope you are well, we had 17x8 rears and 16x8 front i think, these went on tazo easy, however i had to get pretty low profile tyres. As you know these worked very well indeed, they were made by team dynamics and were not too expensive either.
