15/8 wheels on the front?
Can anyone tell me if anyone runs them on the front or are they far to wide ?

Far too wide, really.
Even really mental Sevens like the Caterham 620R only run 185 section front tyres (on 6" rims).
Some cars run 6.5" or 7" rims with 195 section fronts, but 8" is definitely OTT for road use.

I have them on mine as I bought a cheap set of 15 inch wheels off a friend to mainly help with the rear aesthetics and grip. I currently have 205s I
think on the front, maybe 215s, can't recall off the top of my head. Eitherway, they fit under the arches (GBS Zero) but I'll be looking
to come down a width or two soon, aiming for 195 or 205 (if they are in fact 215s) on the front.

Wallerzero- are they fitted to the car on your blog ? The picture is the front end of the car with wheels up the side of the garage

Not good for the unsprung weight.

I've got to find -8 or -10 , for the rear, front is not to much of a problem (et 10)really don't want to use spacers on the back tho ,
I've found a mini light copy, but reviews don't seem to good about the product, all seems very limited
