Thanks Gary.
No problem with the front wheels/tires, except my drivers side sits a little
lower than the right for some yet to be determined reason so I used an Eastwood
fender roller just a little on that side.... It's the same wheel &
tire combo that Jerry Vanderpool runs without issue, and I'm sure there are
several others.
My
rear brakes are the Fiat kit from Dale too.

Hi Stephen,
I really like your car!
Those Panasport's on the front though...
How do they manage not to hit the fenders? Do you have more than an
inch of suspension travel? Are the fenders modified?
I need to know because I need new wheels etc. on my car too!!
BTW, I have Dale's older(?) rear disk kit (Fiat 124 calipers). GOOD kit,
not really expensive at all. I am using stock front brakes but Dale's
carbon pads all around, for street use I am really happy with the setup.

Joel,
I have the smaller diameter of Dale's Wilwood front kits and his rear
disc conversion. They work very well, but the front pad compound I have
dusts badly. Hopefully I'll find something a little less "dusty" when I
replace the pads.
Seems like a lot of trouble and expense to switch to 5 bolt hubs just to get
those wheels, plus you may still have a real problem getting the right
wheel offset. I suggest you think hard about that one.
I have 16"x7" Panasport rims (Panasport knows the right offset for
Tigers), running 205/45-16 tires front and 225/45-16 rear. The 205s
have about the same rolling diameter as the stock tires on 13" rims, so fit
pretty well and shouldn't need major fender mods, if any.
I think Dale's big disc kit requires 16" rims. The smaller disc kit
might get by with smaller, but I think the 16x7 rims are a good size
all around with the 205/45 tires. Dale can certainly lay out the options for
you, but call him instead of email.
