I think they'd look better if it had been lowered, big wheels and standard ride height are never a good combination on any car.

I think thin rubber is starting to look a bit tired (no pun intended).
Some more ballooney tyres, perhaps not quite as fat as the originals allowing a modest wheel diameter increase would suit better. IMHO.

Indeed - great project - but 512BB style profile rubber would be great.

There was a Ferrari like that at a Historics auction last year or the year before. A few have had V12s fitted apparently. I wanted it

I like the wheels, they look great.

Nice wheels but too big an arch gap and then you'd most likely need significantly more negative camber to get them beneath the arches?

Personally I prefer the idea of a 16'' rim and a higher profile tyre. I like smaller rims on classics anyway.

Being pedantic I think that was actually made by Aston for a customer so does it count as modified?
But yes it’s bloody cool

Indeed - it was for the same chap who had his Vulcan made road-legal. Interesting chap with good taste in cars.

I doubt many will be on the fence about this one, but how about a Rover 75/ MG ZT pick-up? This one showed up in my eBay recommendations and I think it looks pretty decent.



If 2.5 KV6 power doesn't do it for you, this one has a Rolls Royce powerplant in the back too.



I think if the rear plate must go on the cab, it would look better with a smoothed tailgate, but that's nit-picking.

I wouldn't say he has a good taste in cars by having a cygnet

I agree, mines not modded enough for this thread but I’ve just put 195’s on my 14” wheels and I think the look is spot on

Lovely.

I've run 15's on an 02 before but much prefer 13's nowadays. Mind you these are 6J and am going 7 with Minilites next.
