just bought a set of 18" spiders,need advise on tyre size and the grinder modification required,please
225x35x18 front
255x35x18 rears
Rear drive shafts need 'trimming' so that the threaded part is flush with the end of the nut, otherwise you wont get the centre caps on. (I used a grinder on mine, and took my time so that not too much heat was generated, as this will melt the nylon thingy in the halfshaft nut!)
Steering rack resrictors (2 nylon washers) so that when on full lock, the insides of the wheels dont foul/rub on the front upper wishbones. Easy to fit!

TVR part - yes, available from any good main dealer, and tyres....questioned asked on a monthly basis...(should have it own forum Ted!)
...do a search for "tyres" and a million threads will appear!
£460 for Falkens. Someones having a laugh. You should be able to get those for under £100 each. A set of Goodyear F1s will cost around this price from mytyres.co.uk. Sounds like you have time to wait for them to arrive in the post (3-4 days usually).
Tyres are the only thing between you and the road etc. etc.
