I want to calculate my new LSD, there for I need to know what kind of rubber I can put under the wide arches (Adrian Venn).
I want to use the car for historic rally’s and not a fan of big rims.

Any suggestions?

Start with the series regulations for tyres and work from there??

Wheel and tire combinations:
only street legal rims can be used and should be a historic match with the car.

So what kind of rims and tires where used in the seventies?

Minilites? 7x15 on the front and 8x15 rear I seem to remember on a Tuscan v8 Hillclimber I often admired.

This is what a run on my M with the SE arches.
The sizes are cribbed from the David Gerald 3000s racer from the eighties/nineties.

On the rear I’ve used 215, 225 and 235 width tyres.
