Hey Guys, The 14" wheels do seem to fill up the wheel well space and improve the looks of our spridgets, but are there any other "issues" with the larger wheels? Steering? Handling? Suspension? Bette

Apart from the "looks" of better filled wheel arches, the usual performance related reason for using larger wheels on any car is to enable the use of a lower profile tyre. This gives a stiffer and m

On the other hand, there is a wider choice of tyres in 13" than there is in 14". For road cars, lots of econoboxes use 13" and for competition, lots of formula cars still use 13" Mike Check out the n

With the number of miles that most Sprites do these days, just use the Yoko A032R and forget about the "performance road tyres". Besides, the *really* good performance road tyres are only available o

That is Sprites, Mike. I have a Midget. So far this year I have logged over 5200 miles, including 13 autocrosses. I use a free set of cast-off A008R Yokos from a Spec Ford for the autocrosses (one i

I do know that VW 17 inch rims fit on a Spridget. Put some electric tape around them for tires and it will look, uh, just like any modern honduh ;) Personally, I think those tall rims with super low

On Sprites/Midgets - touche! Have you thought about a 2nd set of rims for the autocrosses? You could use the cast-off A008R tyres there and something real sticky the rest of the time. I haven't used
