Hi Keith,
Dunlop 48 spokes and XAS from Longstone on a 57 BN4 and the RR tyre fouls t=
he rear arch point at the back when crossing curbs. LR has about 15mm. The =
RR guard has the wheel cutout about 5mm smaller and sits about 5mm further =
forward than the left side which means the rear tip is below the tyre tread=
 on level ground.=20

I had the arch re-rolled 5mm bigger and hopefully this will give enough cle=
arance.
Andy.

My old 48 spoke rims have run their life , fitted with 165/80R Hancooks als=
o=C2=A0past their use by date.
Updated to Dayton 60 spoke 4-1/5 rims with Michelin 180/HR XAS as recommend=
ed by Longstone Tyres UK=C2=A0=C2=A0 as closest match for Dunlop RS5.
=C2=A0 The Hancooks looked a bit lean in the wheel arch while the Michelins=
 fill it out nicely.

The Daytons were purchased from the Healey Factory here in OZ & claimed to =
be specifically for a BN1-2.To me it looks like the rim should sit =C2=A0fu=

The rim is branded 4.5 Beadlace D2-88.
Any input would be appreciated
