I use a old fashion design as you can see on that picture. It was taken from a
TR2 model.

Hoosier R3S04's.  I've tried 205-55-14 and 225 50-14.  Both sizes are a real
bitch to get on the 6" rim due to sidewall stiffness.  My times are at least 1
second a lap faster with the 225-50-14.  This 1 second a lap was on the long
course at Pocono.  Lime Rock I gained about .5 seconds.  The Hoosier sales rep
said the same to me that Goodyear said to Mr. Kastner.  But I don't think the
time clock lies!  If body clearance is a problem a possible solution is a
wheel with a slightly different offset.
