Well, not exactly "bells", but flared nonetheless.
Thinking slightly ahead, I've been pondering wheels and tires, sizing options, required mods for larger ones, etc. I must admit that I was totally bored with the concept of putting Panasport's on my car, that is until I saw the red spoked ones on Piet Mozes black rally car.
I emailed Piet to ask him a few questions about the wheels and the tire sizes.
He used 5.5" on the front and 6" Panasport's on the rear. They're the standard wheels, not the lightweight racing wheels. For tires, he used 215-60-15's on the rear, and I can't remember what he used for the front, maybe 195-65's. Since I already have a full set of the 195's, I just need 2 of the 215's.
I was thinking of 6" on the front and 7" on the rear, but I may run into fit problems. I wouldn't mind flaring the rear fenders only ever so much. Just enough to cover the tires and it probably wouldn't even be noticeable. However, according to Piet and the guys at Panasport, the 5.5 & 6" is a better way to go. Something about the TR4 being very narrow in the front and negative camber issues.
Well anyway, to my point, or question I suppose; what tire sizes and wheels are you running on your TR4 or TR6 and what, if any, issues did you encounter?
Oh yea, I almost forgot, where can I get a hardtop like the one in the picture above?
