I have some 14" wheels myself (JP slotmags) and are wondering what size tires to get. Do You know the size of Your Goodyears and the diameter? Looks really good and I like the fronts as well

Thanks everyone
In the early pictures the Goodyears on the rear were h70 14 bias ply . These rubbed on the fender a little on one side . Also they were a cracking a little on the sidewalls . If anybody wants the old H70 14s , they are free to a good home .
The rear now wears 205 70 14 Michelin XWX , on the front is 145 70 14 pirelli cinturato .
Fabs , I will take some pictures of the buggy bar mountings today .
Thanks , Rob

Thanks Rob, really nice car. Were the 155s too tall compared to the 205/70s since You switched to 145/70?

Sorry , the fronts are still 155 , my mistake .
I haven't had the motor in since I changed the rear tyres , so not sure how it will look at correct height yet .

OK, 145/70 sounded small on 14s The rolling diameter on the 155 sounded ok on paper and it looks good on "your" car. Thanks

Too much money ! the black and silver ones are just an ali sheet which I sprayed black then painted the letters on myself . At least the black and silver ones look half legal ! I may make up some Black and yellow , california plates for it tho . |
