Hi Dan,
IIRC, you bought your Tiger from Steve Wickland and I met you that day...
If so, didn't that car have flared (modified) fenders anyway?
Did you put them back to stock?

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Tire Size Question - Turned to Wheels/cross member
Theo, question about your wheel/front end set up. Do your wheel stay tucked
into the fender or do they overhang outside?
I ask because I'm going to get a front cross member from Mike (Toyz Junkie)
and put 5 lug hubs on the car. I am also planning to use a 16x7 wheel with
similar offset of ~40mm. Given Mike's cross member custom nature I can set
track width however wide I want. I did some simple math and to set the
outside edge of the tire the deep offset vs with wider wheels that put the
outside edge of the tire in the equitant place if running stock track width of
the custom front end. Here are my simple calculations of a few standard
wheels. (Note these numbers are based on rim width and offset and not a true
measure of back/front space because it doesn't include the rim lip)
Wheel-------------offset--backspace--front space
Panasport 15x5.5--19mm----3.5"-------2"
Panasort 15x6-----22mm----3.9"-------2.1"
Mustang 16x7------40mm----5.0"-------2.0"
The primary question given your comment about 3/4" spacer is if I can set
track width of the Front End that much wider than stock and still fit the
15x7" wheels with 40mm offset inside the fenders, or will they stick outside
the fenders? I'd like to get the wheels out as far as possible yet still have
them in the fenders to have longer control arms for better suspension
travel/leverage.
Thanks for the info
dan
