1. [Tigers] Thoughts on 7" front wheels (score: 1)

I'm about to buy some new wheels for my Tiger. Because of the lack of quality off the shelf wheels for our cars, I'm leaning towards 15" diameter Panasports. While kind of "belly button" wheels, they

Mike, Just because you have different width wheels does not mean you have to use different size tires. Tires generally fit a range of wheel widths, with a minimum and maximum for each tire. You can p

I had a body shop custom flare roll the front and rear fenders' wheel openings to clear the 235/50Rx13 tires on 7" wide rims. The fronts' forward 1200 edge and the rear well forward and top areas wer

Mike, 15x7 will not work on the front. The rim width and offset to keep the wheel inside the fender will impact the upper A frame before full lock. This is why people go with 6 inch rims on 15's in t

Thank, Ross, that is very clear and helpful. Unfortunately, not what I wanted to hear! ;-) My problem is, if both ends of the car are set up to maximize available grip, the car will push (given stock

I personally like 15 inch wheels with 205/50 tires on 7 inch rims. That is the setup I have for my "street tire class" autocross tires. They give a very nice ride in conjunction with my 450 lb. front

Correction to my initial response. On the rear I did trim the excess inner well lip back at the top to the spot welds for additional clearance. For the most part that just involved trimming off the a

The 15X7" with 205/50 is what I want to run. A 4.75" backspace is an ET40 offset, I believe. Any off the shelf options? I hate to trim the valence, as the car was just painted and we welded in a nice

Mike, I have 15" Panasports on my Tiger. I run 205 X 50 X 15's on the front and 225 X 45 X 15's on the back. All rims are 7" wide. My valance has been trimmed. Fronts have no problem. Rears rubbed a

Hi Mike, Details?? Like you, I need new wheels/tires. I decided a long time ago that 16's just don't look proper on a Tiger, 15 sounds like the way to go. When you figure out the optimum setup, maybe

16" look great. Just check out our tiger on Tigers United web site. If you can't find it, just let me know off line and I will send you a photo or two. jrv309@charter.net. Jerry and Marlene with the

If you look at the new BFG Rival, Dunlop ZII and the existing ultra high performance street tires, you'll see what I mean about more 15's than 16's...and it will become more clear cut when the new Br
