Re: Wheels for a Spitfire

You should have no trouble fitting 185/60-13 tires on 6" wheels under the
early roundtail body, given that the wheels have the proper offset.  The rears
are not as much of a problem as the fronts.  In the front of the car, too big
tires will foul the firewall when turning, especially if the front suspension
bushings are shot, and the control arms have worked their way to the back of
the mounting brackets.
