Has anyone fitted 7x13 wheels to the front of there caterham? any handling differences?

I had a post about this earlier but i didnt read rule 8756438-978-685, which states your not allowed to advetise on the forum. Didnt realise.

I use 7x13's will race wets, but use 6x13's on the front for slicks. It does change the handling slightly, but on a track nothing major. Never driven on the road with 7x13's on the front

Thanks, Im going to try then with a wider tyre 215/50, and 245/50 on the back. A guy posted on here they didnt clear his calipers and had to use spacers. The ones im looking at have a 7N offset so it should clear them.

As long as you get the correct offset you should be ok, I've got big brakes on the front. Think mine are offset 24.
