The fronts are 260 wide on 10.5 inch wheels - there just us not enough front end grid with the standard size fronts. Ideally we would run 285s on the front but there isn't enough space. They are also a larger diameter - 640mm which is around an inch bigger than standard.

I have 295 width on the front with wheels that have inner rim halves that are 2 inches wider than standard and no change in the turning circle. It is the outer part of the tire that hits the light box that limits turning angle....unless you don't have a light box.

Absolutely love to see the car in competition, thanks for the posts on YouTube.

Hi Jonny

Are you racing this weekend? If not how about an appearance at the Stoneleigh kitcar show (on Sunday). I think you would attract a lot of interest wink

Cheers
Phil.

Hi Phil,

Sorry, only just come onto the forum for the first time in a while! We had the car in many, many parts over the weekend carrying out some significant upgrades, including new loom and fuel system. Got the car completed and tested today at Mallory; the car behaved itself so fingers crossed for the 4 hour at Donington this coming weekend.

Thanks very much - Yes it was going well, so fingers crossed.

Dom - feel free to come along and say hello - the weather forecast isn't looking too great at the moment though!
