what size wheels?
Hello all
Getting there on my haynes roadster R1 build and wondering about the best size wheels to use!!
Do i go for bigger rims with lo profile tyres?
Should they be wider on the back than the front
Your suggestions would be appreciated
Regards
Tony

I thought the Haynes roadster was designed for 14+ inch wheels? Something todo with the rear brakes?

I've fitted cosworth rear hubs with discs & 4 pot willwood calipers so whatever wheels i source would have to accomodate this setup
Would 13" wheels be to small?

Wheels have to be a minimum 15" or they wont fit over the rear uprights, as i have found out.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
