Theres so much to take into account when choosing tyres. Compounds, wall stiffness/height this then effects spring rates and damper settings.

Also drag, having a nice wide sticky wheel on the back is going to increase drag. As iv said befor though, it is all a learning curve.

I decided to go for a fairly obtainable size 7j, i can then work from there as the price of wide wheels in the correct offset and stud pattern is just too much for me at the moment.

does look cool tho...

Gets more responsive/twitchier as it gets bigger in relation to the wheelbase, that's pretty much the up and downside in one... depends how quick your driver is lol

I just found you RML works coilovers whilst Googling lol.

Nice find! I echo all other comments on here. Fantastic build mate. Any updates?

i though we were getting an up date :(

dam you

Put the wallpaper down and post another spunky update:cool:

I can't believe this thread has been going so long and I haven't noticed it!

The car is incredible, the workmanship put in looks to be top notch too. Should be a very interesting car to see on a track.

Hat's off to everyone involved with this build so far.
